Then my folks got divorced and Mom and us kids lived on Glider Ave. in Northtown. I went to J D Smith and then Rancho. We moved west after that and I graduated first class of Western High in 1963. Then I got married and moved back to the Eastside and have been here ever since. LOVE my downtown!

Rancho High which was built as the North Las Vegas High School back in the 50's is actually in Las Vegas since it is on the south side of Owens. I have been here all my life (since the 40's) and used to live in north town as it was called then. MJAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
