A Las Vegas, NV ..."Then and Now"
Author: NscaleMike

I couldn't catch a similar facing westbound like the "Then" image...but I am sure the point is understood...

Whereas in 1989 this location was relatively desolate...now there are thousands of homes in the area known as Southern Highlands, part of south west Las Vegas

Oh yeah...I forget what the eventual build-out of the Southern Highlands Master Plan community will look like...but they have several more thousand homes to go!!

This is north of Sloan...I am guessing somewhere W/SW of Rainbow and Blue Diamond Roads?

JEEZ a friend of mine who lives there showed me clips from the local paper about the houses on the BMI Branch and the complaints they show when UP send their local to the plant over there!
