[kj] Another one, just to be annoying...

[sade1]

I agree.  Having been to both the Strip and Downtown L.V., I'd much rather(and i have, too) share a drink and a blackjack table with those small town, NASCAR, faith-based Republican Wonder-bread types saturating downtown than those fake hip-hop-, Hilton/Kardashian- and Mark Cuban-type weekend wannabe "pLAYaahh"-types[see below] contaminating the Strip anyday. And that's saying a lot:

'I've got soul, but I'm.. not a playaah.'

Downtown L.V. is shabby-chic. My kind of place. I have a lot of stories about hanging out around there.
And I remember when U2 was filming that vid; we tried to sneak in and check it out, but only saw a glimpse of the band.
 
Cheers,

I thought the FreSEx had always been there but I just saw the U2 vid for IStillHFWILF(from '85) and saw how much better and original/organic/"authentically"-Vegas/better! that street looks without the video-roof'. I just have a soft spot for Downtown Vegas, i guess. To me Downtown Vegas is like a regular down-home country girl to the Vegas Strip's Jocelyn Wildenstein.

>The Fremont Street Experience did not blight Downtown until '95.  In '85, Downtown still had its sleazy charms, as natives like myself preferred. 

>(But for the record, I first heard that great tune in my bedroom, while listening to KUNV, on a balmy spring evening.)  = )
