Las Vegas update

By: Chad Kainz

Las Vegas update.

As our plane cleared the mountains the valley came into view and it was really spread out, a lot of growth. The plane banked and all I could see was mostly wing; we had the wing seat. It straightened out for final descent and I saw parts of the airport and Tropicana Blvd and something caught in my chest and I lowered my head and I fought tears. Kelli reached out…

I meet Ken Norton and Ernie Shavers

By: Ted & Dani Percival

He shows me a picture of Tyson

I meet Ken Norton and Ernie Shavers. I was resting in the hotel room when my girlfriend and her daughter came in. My girlfriend looks at me, “Do you know who Ernie Shavers is?” Well yes I do know who Ernie Shavers is. She tells me that he is signing autographs in a memorabilia shop in the Miracle Mile mall of the Planet Hollywood casino,…

We miss you

By: Orange County Archives

We miss you. In ’86, I was living at my uncle’s place in Torrance and I was losing one job after another. I wasn’t trained to do much more than landscaping and I was sick of it. Plus it just didn’t pay in Southern California. I got a job with a Japanese landscape company in the South Bay. The guy tells me, “I pay you six buck but you keep you mout shut.” I worked…

Backing away

The bottom drops out of my stomach

By: epSos .de

Backing away. I’m on the P8 level of the parkade leaning on the railing looking south over the showroom parking lot, the surface lot. I see cars and the occasional body moving. I risk a look down and the bottom drops out of my stomach. My pulse quickens. I push back, physically push back and start moving away. What happens, happens every time, is…

I lose track of time

By: Blake Handley

I always enjoy crossing the border at Peace Arch

I lose track of time. I’m getting older and I haven’t worked in a couple of years. I think it’s a couple of years. I figure I have been on disability for about 21 months now and I had to wait nine months for it to start. So two and a half years of various events in my life but somehow it’s hazy.

One time, I think I was still…

Suicide attempt on I - 15

Suicide attempt on I – 15

Suicide attempt on I – 15

I was on my way to work one afternoon, heading north on I- 15, heading out to State Line. These were the Primm properties and I was working at Buffalo Bills. These were right off the highway, the three joints; Whiskey Pete’s and Primmadonna. Buffalo Bills was the most recent one. I had dealt at all of them, dealt dice and sometimes Blackjack — when it was…

Naked woman on Hastings Street

Naked woman on Hastings

I got out of the seminar at 10pm; this was a Landmark Forum Seminar. My scooter was on the sidewalk facing north so I just rode down the sidewalk and when I got to the cross street I dropped down to Hastings, which was as good a way as any to start heading back to New West. Besides I hadn’t been down East Hastings in ages and I had a ghoulish curiosity. Was it…

Queen Ann

Queen Ann area of Seattle

Queen Ann

I quit Caesars in ’92 and I came back to Vancouver, to my parent’s house in North Burnaby and I didn’t have a clue. I was looking to start a new life somewhere, somehow but I didn’t even know what I wanted. I spent half a week at my parent’s house but Vancouver didn’t really appeal to me too much so I took a bus to Seattle. Apart from not having…
