In relation to Waldie and various other readings this semester… Check out this photograph I took on my Blackberry (hence the lacking picture quality) from the plane as I flew into Las Vegas. This gridded Suburban landscape is just beyond the Las Vegas Strip.

and below an even worse quality photograph of the Strip from the air. It is really surrounded by Suburbs straight out of the Weeds opening theme (click for the Randy Newman version). I guess I'm sort of fascinated by this "unreal" real place that takes so much from other locales. What does it say about our culture? Vegas Skyline: Surrounded by Suburbia
