Saturday’s The REALLY Big Day For Historic Preservation Month In Las Vegas
http://veryvintagevegas.com/ 2008/ 05/ 15/ saturdays-the-really-big-day-for-hist…Sometimes I feel like Kristen Peterson of the Las Vegas Sun is the best friend that the Historic Preservation Movement has.

Today, she published all of Saturday’s events that we published on Monday, and gave them each her own special commentary.
