A neighborhood in South Lyon, Mich., has no block walls and the residents love the freedom
I vividly recall being named real estate editor of the Las Vegas Review-Journal in 1985.

I will never forget the time in late 1994 when I was watching a KLAS TV-8 sports report touting the fact that Las Vegas was about to see the creation of a super speedway. I was lying in bed recovering from brain surgery that I had undergone at Scripps Green Hospital north of San […]
