LETTER: NIMBYs shut down backyard trapeze in Las Vegas
Renato Fernandes built a scale model of his backyard trapeze which he presented as a visual aid on Saturday, Aug. 24, 2024, in Las Vegas. (L.E. Baskow/Las Vegas Review-Journal) @Left_Eye_Images
It was with great sadness that our household read in the Aug. 25 Review-Journal about the dismantling of the backyard trapeze. We live close to the neighborhood where this trapeze is located and would sometimes drive out of our way to catch a glimpse of someone practicing on the trapeze. We were lucky enough to see the trapeze in use only a small number of times, but those times were magical. I will never forget how amazing the experience was.
I don’t understand why anyone would complain about the joy and beauty Renato Fernandez and his family brought to their neighborhood. I wish him only success and a warm welcome wherever he next opens his academy.
