Deke Castleman's travelogue (QoDs 4/29-30/09) reminded me of a time I drove through a good chunk of northern Arizona and southern Nevada. I remember stopping at a small town that at the time had a some homes, gas station, a couple bar/casinos and most importantly a chamber of commerce or visitor center. After looking at brochures, I asked if anything nearby was worth seeing. The lady suggested, if I wanted to see something unusual and was open-minded (she said many of the local people did not appreciate what was on display), I should go a short drive to the home and workplace of an artist who had moved there and look at the outdoor sculptures. It seems to me there was a large Last Supper made of concrete, and I certainly remember a very large standing painted naked lady made of concrete blocks. Unfortunately I had no camera. Does anyone at Huntington Press know of what I remember?

On the recommendation of Las Vegas Advisor, my wife and I went to Irene’s to try the breakfast. We opened the door and the cigarette smoke hit us right in the face. We sat down with the intent of eating, but we were overcome by the smoke and left. Please explain how LVA can recommend this establishment, as it is clearly breaking the Nevada Clean Indoor Air Act. I have been to many bars, taverns, and restaurants in Las Vegas and this is the only place I have encountered violating the law. I would think a retraction should be forthcoming.
