I just got back from attending a gaming-industry trade show in Boston. Professionally, the trip was great and there were some fun experiences, but the overall experience reminded me why I like living in Las Vegas. Don’t get me wrong, I’m fond of Boston. For five years in the 1970s I lived just west of […]

But Is The Sky Actually Falling?
It makes me crazy to hear reporters crying that the housing market is going to hell in a hand basket simply because prices are no longer skyrocketing. I guess it sells newspapers (I know, that’s not really a thing now, but that’s not the point). These stories cause buyers and sellers to sit on the […]
Living Local — Researching Restaurants near My ...
Miss me? I had two major projects last week: the 54th Cauliflower Alley Club Reunion (a gathering of current and retired professional wrestlers); and I relocated my office from my home to a room in my accountant’s workplace about two miles down the road on Desert Inn. The CAC Reunion (long story how I got […]
Living Local—Fast Facts. And Pizza.
Foreclosures have fallen in Las Vegas, ending the first quarter of 2019 at 74% below the same quarter in 2008.

According to the recent United Van Lines National Movers Study, 29% of people moving to Nevada are coming for retirement-related reasons. […]
Living Local — Clark County Public Schools: The...
This week’s topic was a hard subject to research. I don’t have children, those of most of my friends are grown (and very few were educated in the Clark County public schools), and although I was once married to a school teacher, she taught in Ohio, not Nevada. Luckily, The Nevada Independent, a first-rate online […]
The times, they are a-changin’.
After starting off the year at a very slow pace, real estate sales in the Las Vegas Valley are picking up. With interest rates .6% lower since November, buyers are no longer standing on the sidelines. Inventory is high with 7,091 single family homes on the market today – looks like the market is no […]
