What do you want to see on Deer Springs Way? Please tell us!
The City is currently conducting a Livable Centers Study for
the Deer Springs District, a 2.5-mile stretch of Deer Springs Way from Commerce
Street to Pecos Road. Livable centers are vibrant, walkable communities that
include transportation options, multiple housing choices, shops, restaurants and
easy access to jobs and services.
Help us shape the future of the Deer Springs District. Please
learn about the project at cityofnorthlasvegas.com/DeerSprings and submit your comments
through Friday, Oct. 19. We’ll use your feedback to create conceptual plans to
share during the next phase of the planning process.
Following on the heels of the
highly-successful debuts of In-N-Out Burger and Cracker Barrel, Terrible Herbst
is the latest company to develop in the Craig Corridor.
The company is building a new gas
station and convenience store on land owned by the Morgan and Hachquet
families, immediately adjacent to In-N-Out Burger and Cracker Barrel.
Terrible Herbst Oil Company was
originally founded by Ed Herbst in Chicago in 1937. While the business was
distinctively family-owned – they regularly offered pony rides and bubble gum to
kids and customers – the company was christened “Terrible” by competitors
because of the competition that would arise whenever Herbst moved into a new
area.
In 1959, Herbst opened the very first Terrible's in Las
Vegas. Today, Terrible Herbst operates more than 130 convenience stores and
more than 40 car washes throughout Nevada, California, Arizona and Utah.
Broadacres Marketplace &
Event Center was recently chosen as Business of the Month by myself and the North Las Vegas City Council. Broadacres sits on 44 acres off
Las Vegas Boulevard and features more than 1,100 vendor spaces offering food,
clothing, toys and household items.
If you haven’t checked it out
yet, make sure you do! There’s also plenty of live entertainment and music on
the weekends.
Last month, our City Council
approved a partnership with Tahoe Mack, a local student who is designing a
16-foot statue of a Columbian mammoth, and the Protectors of Tule Springs.
Tahoe’s mammoth will be displayed in the Villages of Tule Springs and will
welcome guests to our unique urban national monument, the Tule Springs Fossil
Beds.
The statue will be made with recycled
metal that has been dumped illegally throughout the monument. Tahoe is working
with artists Luis Varela-Rico and Joel Spencer to create a truly incredible and
one-of-a-kind work.
Please help her gather the
materials she needs and keep our wonderful national park clean! Join us for a
November park cleanup. This is a great project for the City! I even chipped in to help her get started on donations.
We had such a fantastic time at the film screening of "Walkout" at City Hall! The HBO movie chronicles the true story of the 1968 Latino Civil Rights movement in East L.A. and was produced by activist and filmmaker Moctesuma Esparza, the businessman behind Maya Cinemas, the new state-of-the-art movie theater complex opening later this year in downtown Ward 1.
The screening was followed by a wonderful community conversation. Thank you to everyone who came out and asked insightful questions!
 
I had a great time celebrating Mexico’s Dia de Independencia! I was lucky enough to be invited to many events across the City. Muchas gracias to everyone who joined me to celebrate the independence day of my people.
I enjoyed hanging out at Ranch High School's event with Councilman Richard Cherchio and seeing all of my wonderful students!
