Las Vegas Sun Raises Awareness of Mid Century Modernism – Maude Frazier
Kristen Peterson at the Las Vegas Sun once again is doing a great job of reporting on Vintage Las Vegas & raising awareness of endangered architecture. Our friends Mary Margaret Stratton & the Atomic Age Alliance, Lynn Zook of Classic Las Vegas, and a growing number of the general public are pushing to save the UNLV’s first building that represents so much more than just Mid Century design. Read the full article here on the Sun’s website. You can also Sign the Petition to Save Maude’s Hall.

About the Author
Hi, I'm Stephen P Christmas. I've lived in Vegas since Katrina kicked me out of Mississippi (although at heart I'm a Michigan boy of 13 years w/ a little bit of New Jersey thrown in for flavor). I was sick and tired of all that I thought Las Vegas had to offer, until I met my favorite Uncle, Jack.
If anybody can show you how cool this town can really be, it's certainly Mr. LeVine (he hates being called that). He's the reason I'm still here. I'd been working as a loan officer & living in boring, bland, blah 7 hills in Henderson, where all the houses look the same and every neighbor is a stranger waiting to happen; culture & history there seem to be four letter words.
Jack showed me Vintage Vegas & I instantly fell in love. The art, the architecture, the sense of community, history & revitalization in this 'Urban Core' is absolutely brilliant. I'd never dream of leaving now. Downtown Vegas & I are now married for life (not surprising when you trip over a wedding chapel every block!).
As soon as possible I traded my boring finance office cubicle for a desk in Jack's fabulous mid-mod home office & I'm never leaving, whether he likes it or not. He does.
Getting to know Jack better over the last year has been more and more rewarding. Not just in historical tours of amazing neighborhoods, but in seeing the way he treats his clients. I've seen many ego heavy, self centered Realtors in this occasionally crazy town, who seem only out to take care of their own interests. I love helping people, and working with Jack who will climb on a roof for you to make sure your A/C unit is in working before you make an offer, or trim your hedges on your listed property while you're on vacation is the absolute best fit I've ever had in a career position.
I am a licensed mortgage consultant with Emerald Pacific Financial, and we can offer any type of loan program available (even some most brokerages can't). So if you need to buy or re-finance, I'm your source & I look forward to working with you and Jack to make your Vintage Vegas dream an affordable reality!
