Downtown Photo Essay #1... A Stimulating Success Story...

This is the first of a series of Downtown Las Vegas photo essay's that I will be blogging about in the next coming weeks about the positive developments that are happening within walking distance of my home. The future of Downtown is looking very bright despite the economic downturn that has hurt our community. These positive developments will have long lasting effects for the creation of a sustainable future built on economic diversification. Working together we can make Las Vegas's future very bright for generations to come.

"While other industries have suffered, the nonprofit arts world continues to build in strength while it encourages the growth of innumerable small businesses on its periphery, thereby creating more jobs." Louise Slaughter, Congresswoman
