Huntridge West Neighborhood Association Gets Press Coverage
June 10th, 2009 Categories: Huntridge
I actually scooped the newspapers when we covered the new “Welcome to” signs that have been installed on Oakey and Franklin by the Huntridge West Neighborhood Association.
The story got picked up by the Downtown View which comes to your mailbox if you don’t subscribe to the Review Journal. If you do, then you get it in your Tuesday Newspaper. There’s 13 different versions of the view, covering different parts of the valley. They’re divided by zipcodes, so the coverage isn’t always totally localized.
The Downtown View and The SE View have always been willing to cover the re-birth of the historic neighborhoods of Las Vegas and we’re very grateful for the coverage. If you’re new to VeryVintageVegas, you can see some of the past coverage that the view has given to historic neighborhoods and Mid Century Modern homes here and here.
Here’s a few clip from “Displaying Huntridge Pride” by Amanda Llewellen
In the early 1940s, the quiet streets on the edge of downtown Las Vegas were beginning to be marked by the emergence of some of the Southwest’s first master-planned communities, including the collection of cottage-like homes that comprised the Huntridge neighborhood.
“We wanted to beautify the entryways to the neighborhood and establish some signage, identifying our history and just where you’re going,” president Lance Kirk said. “It’s about pride. We love living in this historic portion of our city, and we take pride in its charms.”
Again, as I did last week, I want to thank the Huntridge West Neighborhood Association for the their efforts and dedication to preserving the character and charm of the oldest tract developments in Las Vegas.
