Remember what the Strip looked like before videoboards?

Ah, the era before the videoboard.

Most of those places are still around. The same can't be said for the
Strip.

WEHT Count Cool Rider? Count Cool Rider used to host a show on channel 33, cable 6 every Saturday night. It was always a horror movie, normally B grade. I just hit me that he is no longer on, does anybody know why/when?

North Las Vegas and Obi-wan Kenobi So much crime, so much shooting, so much gang-bangers and so much low life on the corner of Martin Luther King Drive & Lake Mead Blvd and the surrounding community. I watched the old Star Wars movie (1st one) and I heard Alec Guiness say to Luke Skywalker

HOW BOUT THEM DAWGS! They beat the hell out of Alabama! They will beat Alabama again in December in the SEC championship game at the GA dome. Vegas sports betters can win big beting on the Dawgs to win the BCS National championship. Foxie Emerson
