    Yes NYC is like that now too. Not as bad, I mean it isn’t constant. But you can’t walk 15m without smelling it.

          I remember a couple blocks near 42nd street where there were dozens of drug sellers operating in the open - coke and smoke.

          Outside those few blocks were 2-man teams of police on just about every corner. It's like they yielded these couple blocks to the dealers.

          Of course this was 30 years ago. I have no idea how it looks now.

            Times squares looks also looks like Disneyland

            But at least in New York it’s a change for the good

            When I lived in New York 42 street was only porn theaters whores and drug dealers. Now, it’s 90% gawking tourists and brand name stores

            The other 10% are New Yorkers who accidentally wandered into a tourist zone.

              Well, Hilary was not a huge deal here. We got 1-3" of rain over three days in bands, never really heavy. It'll be good for Lake Mead but dwarfed by the record snowpack this past winter.

                Depends on whether he means 15 meters or 15 minutes.

                  At the airport, ready to go home. One thing I really love about this town is the cornucopia of healthy, lower calorie fresh food. We learned in Hawaii that Vegas has a big Hawaiian population, so Poke joints are everywhere. They also have a lot of great soup, sandwich and salad places.

                    You know where else there's a cornucopia of healthy, lower calorie fresh food?
