What a fantastic Web site! I grew up in Las Vegas, and lived there from 1949 through 1976. I went to kindergarten there (Fifth Street Elementary) and graduated High School there (Western High '63). Also attended Las Vegas High for two years. My dad owned the Club Bingo on Fremont Street when I was in High School. He and Jackie Gaughan were business partners from 1963 all the way up to January of this year, when dad finally retired at 84. I consider him to be a pioneer in the gaming industry. He was an owner in the Union Plaza (he had all the slot machines), the Western Hotel/Casino and several other operations in downtown Las Vegas for 45 years. His name is Johnny Jones, and he and mom are still there. Dad has been in love with Las Vegas for sixty years now. He knew all of Vegas' legendary figures, you name 'em. He has an amazing story himself. A very interesting history. Anyway, your terrific Web site has brought back a flood of memories for me. I worked in the casinos (New Frontier Hotel; El Cortez and others, on and off for fifteen years through the '60s and '70s. Those were great years in Las Vegas. I appreciate the amazing amount of work you have done to create this Web site, and I will return to it often. Thank you.<br/><br/>Huff Jones<br/>Eugene, Oregon]]></description></item><item><title>tt comments on A Brief History of Fremont Street</title><author>tt</author><pubDate>Tue, 29 Jul 2008 12:41:56 +0000</pubDate><link>http://classiclasvegas.squarespace.com/downtown-history/2007/2/3/a-brief-history-of-fremont-street.html#comments</link><guid isPermaLink="false">68732:1092750:comment/1677234</guid><description><![CDATA[center stage is stll there]]></description></item><item><title>LasVegasLynn comments on A Brief History of Fremont Street</title><author>LasVegasLynn</author><pubDate>Tue, 25 Sep 2007 07:42:56 +0000</pubDate><link>http://classiclasvegas.squarespace.com/downtown-history/2007/2/3/a-brief-history-of-fremont-street.html#comments</link><guid isPermaLink="false">68732:1092750:comment/1008794</guid><description><![CDATA[BlackJack,<br/><br/>What year did you graduate from Clark?]]></description></item><item><title>BlackJackBob comments on A Brief History of Fremont Street</title><author>BlackJackBob</author><pubDate>Mon, 24 Sep 2007 22:06:26 +0000</pubDate><link>http://classiclasvegas.squarespace.com/downtown-history/2007/2/3/a-brief-history-of-fremont-street.html#comments</link><guid isPermaLink="false">68732:1092750:comment/1008250</guid><description><![CDATA[As a Clark HS alum I remember cruising Fremont Street in the early 70's and there was a person, referred to only as the &quot;Fremont Fag&quot; who was so much a part of the experience. Almost any weekend you'd find him cruising too ... hot pants, bicycle, American flag and a smile as big as the neon sign on the Golden Nugget and waving to anyone who passed by. My questions are: Who was that man? What was his story? In my view he was as much a part of Fremont Street history as a bunch of amped-up HS kids looking for adventure!]]></description></item><item><title>Sharon Seche comments on A Brief History of Fremont Street (cont.)</title><author>Sharon Seche</author><pubDate>Fri, 29 Jun 2007 16:01:56 +0000</pubDate><link>http://classiclasvegas.squarespace.com/downtown-history/2007/5/3/a-brief-history-of-fremont-street-cont-1.html#comments</link><guid isPermaLink="false">68732:1092750:comment/890013</guid><description><![CDATA[What a great site.  I remember a lot of what you talk about.  I want to know the name of the shoe store that was on the alley I think between 7th and 8th in the 50s or 60s.  I got my first pair of &quot;heels&quot; there, they were white springolators.  I lived on north 8th Street.  My Grandfather was the head of the Highway Patrol and he used to walk from his house (No. 8th) up to the train depot and back every day.  He knew everyone along the way.  Most of the time I walked with him.<br/><br/>I would like some information on getting involved with this project.  If you need people, please e-mail me.<br/><br/>Thanks again for a great site.]]></description></item><item><title>Anne M.
