Them Review Journal reporters is makin' fun of us Nor'Townies:
TO PUBLICIZE ITS STATE OF THE CITY ADDRESS early next year, the City of North Las Vegas sent out an invitation that starts out flat then springs into the three-dimensional shape of a house.
It's pretty cool, but the Week in Review staff would like to suggest a few accessories that would complete the scene:
• A yard choked with weeds and door-hanger restaurant menus.
• A backyard pool filled with green sludge, mosquitoes and West Nile virus.
• A cardboard couple with an adjustable rate mortgage and no choice but to move back in with their parents.
• A tiny "For Sale" sign that identifies the house as "bank owned."
• A pop-up real estate broker offering walkthroughs in exchange for food. (RJ)
Hey. I didn't get one those invites. But it's still pretty cheap compared to that paint can they sent out in '06 (pictured to the right).
By the way, planning commission approved the new city hall building Wednesday without a single citizen's comment. It's going to be nine stories tall. That'll make them cans look like a bargain.
Man, after they pay for the housing authority disaster and the new building, that contingency fund's gonna be pretty empty.
