LETTER: NIMBYs shut down backyard trapeze in Las Vegas

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.
