Twin Lakes Plaza, Las Vegas, NV, 1960 and 2011

Twin Lakes Plaza, Las Vegas, NV, 1960 and 2011
Winter, 1960, in Las Vegas on Rancho Rd. northeast of the intersection with Washington. Looking more or less east. It's utterly amazing that this late 1950s shopping center has survived, but it has. The stores are all different, and they've filled in some stores in the vacant space between the old Faiman's Market and the rest of the center (that had already happened by the mid 1960s, IIRC), but the buildings are still there.
I didn't quite get the angle right on this one, due to squinting at the monitor in bright sun. It's pretty close, though.
The little boy in the white sweater on the pony in the middle is yours truly, and the girl behind me, also in a white sweater, is my kid sister. I have no idea who the other kids are. Yes, another thing that dates the photo--pony rides in Twin Lakes Plaza!
