Winter is here. While mid-day temperatures are still in the 60s, morning and night have been dropping down into the mid-40 degrees. Plenty of sunshine, but you will need a jacket once the sun goes down

Elections were had, but as of 9 am on Friday, the results are still not in.  You can follow the results here

 

We are asked so often if there are casinos or places to gamble in Chinatown, that we posted a Can You Gamble In Chinatown Guide Check it out. It’s another one of the many unique things you can do in this Chinatown that you can’t do in any other.

 

Week 6 for the two street intersections without crossing signals

Two street intersections are currently without crossing signals. Going on week 6. The entire pole, base, and lights, are all gone. One is on the south side of Arville and Spring Mountain and the other is on the south side of Decatur and Spring Mountain.

Please be extra careful when crossing the streets at these two intersections. One is on the south side of Arville and Spring Mountain and the other is on the south side of Decatur and Spring Mountain.

The bus stop for Bus # 103 at Spring Mountain and Valley View southbound has been moved temporarily about 30 feet south of its normal spot. Look for the yellow poster on the pole ahead.
