We found a nice, cheap one on Tam Drive. It was 1963 and even then I guess it was pretty rough because my mother said "You can't live there, it's full of pimps and prostitutes." Mom worked at the Sands in the cage at that time. I got married and never did get an apartment with my friend. Instead my new husband and I got one on north 13th, off Stewart and Mom said that was ok.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9062021549096563410.post-2063547044664225772007-06-30T11:23:00.000-07:002007-06-30T11:23:00.000-07:00Brian,Great post.Any chance of doing a similar one...Brian,<BR/>Great post.<BR/>Any chance of doing a similar one on Naked City, the area right behind the Stratosphere?

Back in the day that was never a concern.<BR/>Sunrise Acres was a great school in the 50's as was John S. Park. I<BR/>went to Sunrise and my cousins went to John S. We went together on Saturdays to the matinee at the Huntridge Theater. We walked to and from and we threw popcorn in the air around our seats and we got to see cartoons and 2 movies for 25 cents. At the old Palace Theater downtown where the Nugget is, we got to see 3 movies and it was 10 cents. Those were the days!<BR/>MJAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
