Replaced by A Chick-fil-A!

Bummer. Claim Jumper restaurants have some seriously good food, including very delicious soups. The closest location was along Charleston Boulevard. The remaining unit is located in Henderson, NV which shares a common border with Las Vegas. While Henderson is a nice city, I’m not going to drive way the heck down there.

I sent them an email about this, but like so many big companies today, they probably don’t give a crap about what customers say. For them, it’s all about what their bean counters say…

These are iPhone photos of the now gone location which has been replaced by a damn fast food joint. Hey, big fast-food today is much cheaper than real food, right? Can this contribute to our obesity problem in the States today?

No Color Las Vegas

Taken in 2017, here are some old photos that were taken along Sahara Avenue heading east. The older fella holding the advertising sign is wearing a mask, that seems very prophetic today, doesn’t it?

Spin that sign, fella!

A Very Low Ceiling

There aren’t any good photo opportunities today in my opinion with the cloud deck hovering so close to the ground, so I snapped this one photo of where there would be a six thousand foot mountain. This is at Summerlin Parkway and Durango Road. On the way home from the pharmacy, I spotted this odd-looking device and grabbed a photo of it.

Two possibilities: A small cell phone repeater, to fill in areas where the larger towers can not get a solid signal into, or, It is a detector that listens for gunfire. Not kidding. I’m pretty sure that my first evaluation is correct though. These damned low-pressure systems need to scoot outta here, but more rain is forecast this week. I want sunshine!

Melting and Lifting

The white stuff that fell overnight has all melted from my place now, here’s a photo looking west down my street. Pretty! Those clouds are very slowly lifting up, yet another low-pressure system will move into the valley this week. Winters…
