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

1960s - Twin Lakes Plaza


Folder: 1950s-1960s
Las Vegas, NV, 1960. Pony rides in a shopping center, Las Vegas, winter 1960. A couple of rephoto attempts, comparing the appearance of the site then versus now, are also included. The little boy in the white sweater is me, the girl in the white sweater is my younger sister Nancy, and I don't know who any of the other people are.

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

Another view, roughly northeast. Still winter, 1960, in Las Vegas on Rancho Rd. northeast of the intersection with Washington. Here the amount of development in the last 50+ years is much more obvious. Still, the part of the shopping center that was there in 1960 has survived. The old Sprouse-Reitz variety store (this was long before Big Box retail) is now a beauty supply store. Again, the little boy in the white sweater is me, the girl in the white sweater is my kid sister, and I don't know who any of the other children are.
