The Las Vegas Sun posted an article this week about the new meaning of "Leaving Las Vegas". And it seems as though our family is not alone in its blatant desertion of the Sin City. The article highlights the problems our former city faces in keeping its residents and its jobs. And while I am sorry for the city's troubles, I am not sorry to be out of its ill graces. I'm pretty sure Mayor Goodman doesn't read this blog, but if he did I would urge him kindly to put down his martini glass and hit the streets. Meet the people one on one and find ways that you can help them. Nevada used to be the fastest growing state and the heart of that growth was in the Las Vegas area. Now, even here in Phoenix, I hear neighbors talking of Las Vegas as a ghost town. But even us ghosts have moved on, to spook new neighborhoods across the west.
