So many reasons, including:

• Cool stores. No trip is complete without a visit to Retro Vegas. I collect vintage glassware, radios and ashtrays and I could spend all day there — plus they ship!
• Food. Sure there’s a lot of great food on the Strip but no trip to Vegas is complete without a visit to Lindo Michoacan.
• Fashion. Yeah, I visit the Fashion Show Mall (and the Miracle Mile) but I don’t leave without visiting Sheplers. I’ve got my eye on these babies. And these……and these….and these……

You’ll need to rent a car or take a taxi to my favourite places but if ypu like retro stuff, Mexican food and western boots it will be worth the effort. If you don’t, well, there are other things to do there, I suppose.

See you soon, Sin City!

(Next in this series: why I love Santa Fe.)

Today when I was standing at an intersection waiting for the light to change, a school bus full of kids turned in front of me. A little guy with Down Syndrome waved at me and I waved back. We shared a smile.

In that beautiful moment, I forgot all about the pesky cyclists who race through all the stop signs — in what I imagine — is an attempt to knock over that “smug pedestrian.”

Of course, as soon as I got the the corner of Wilcocks and Huron, it all came rushing back as I had to wait for three scofflaws to race through the stop sign before I could cross.
