I have lived in my home in West Las Vegas since 1963. It was a segregated neighborhood when I moved here. Our community gathers at our churches - I attend Zion United Methodist; we gather at the Doolittle community center and Mario's Westside market. I taught at the local elementary schools before retiring in 1994. There is also the MLK community center for senior activities. We have UMC quickcare but I travel across town for specialty healthcare services that I need.
My community used to be segregated and remains predominantly a black neighborhood. There have been more latino families moving to the area and on my street which used to have the same families for 50 years. This is now known as the Historic Westside Neighborhood and signs were setup around the boundaries.
This neighborhood has a lot of low-income, working families. As an older neighborhood, our infrastructure is also aging and has not been upgraded. We frequently lose power, cable and internet service. Residents are employed in the hotels, local government and school district. I know many CCSD teachers and employees in the neighborhood.
Our community needs upgraded infrastructure. Our power lines and cable lines primarily. I have Cox cable for tv, phone and internet. When those lines are down, I lose ALL connection. I am 87 years old and that can be very serious due to my health conditions. There needs to be investment in older, urban public works infrastructure including our water and sewer lines but my utilities are the greatest concern.
