LETTER: Why disturb the quaintness of downtown Henderson?

Re: Paul Gary’s response to Karen Jakl concerning downtown Henderson and the planned new ice rink involving the Vegas Golden Knights:

I’ve been in Las Vegas for more than 40 years, and I can honestly say last month was the first time I ever visited downtown Henderson. It was as if I had to reset my clock back 40 years. I so wanted to just park my car and walk around the downtown area and see all the quaint shops. It even had old-time casinos.

Embrace change? I think not. I can go anywhere for that. Let me see downtown Henderson as it is so I can momentarily live in the past. Henderson seems to be surviving. Let it be.

LETTER: Goodbye to the penny

Some people say the penny is irrelevant — and maybe they’re right. But more to the point, the saying, “A penny for your thoughts,” will now need to be replaced.

LETTER: Dangerous drivers are a problem in Las Vegas

Local police need our help. Similar to the Nevada DMV initiative to have us report unregistered vehicles, we need to be able to report dangerous drivers who are a threat to the safety of all citizens.
