I love statements like these. If you live in North Las Vegas or travel a couple blocks off the strip, you have some crime. It's just like any other big city. Where I live is nothing but rainbows and unicorns.

I can handle the heat, as I work inside during the days and summer nights are AWESOME.

I can handle the cold, as I quite enjoy wearing jackets and beanies.

I was born here, so the strip is just there for tourists. Gambling is never an attraction, as I've seen it ruin so many.

Snowboarding is 2 hours away in any direction...The beach is 3 hours away...The lake is 45 minutes away.

Housing is VERY affordable now.

The 24 hour convenience is unparalleled anywhere else, and we have some of the best restaurants in the nation.

As for raising a child, I am about to do so...We have 1 private park and 2 public parks in a 2 mile radius, the schools nearby are top notch, and there are so many great activities in this city for them to experience.

...And today is one of the rare rainy days where I can open the window and feel the nice breeze and fresh smell!


P.S. I was born and raised here, and as much as I want to experience other cities, I can't imagine ever leaving here for good.
