No, actually the Ghetto Meadow has a date with the wrecking ball. This one will probably die a slow and painful death.

I worked at Diamonds in the Boulevard in 1977-78 and at that time it was very high class. I waited on several celebrities who shopped at the store at the time.

I also worked at the Woolco down on Charleston for several years.

Lots of great memories for me there.

@Reply to EXLV Resident, i just looked at the RJ article. it says she worked at Saks. that’s in the Fashion show, which just goes to show you. it is sad what the area has become around the blvd. back then, that was the nice, happening part of town.

@Esther, the only Alpine village i know of was across from the Hilton(International), next to the Landmark.

I got to vegas in ‘72, and the blvd. mall was it! right next to penneys was Diamonds dept. store, and across from it was Marvin Strusser’s bed and bath shop with the most exquisite things! I still have some of them (a brass bow tie lamp that was about $300 back then!) Then, that NEW Meadows mall opened. Anyone remember a home decor store called the Habitat? I bought so much stuff there, they probably retired! I moved to Ca. in the 80’s, and just came back a few years ago.

@Bobby,

I grew up in Henderson and I can vividly remember my mother always saying, “We need to stop at over at Maryland Square to visit Mervyn’s.”

I still remember seeing television commercials for Maryland Square and I can still sing the jingle. It goes, “What can compare, to Maryland Square… Maryland Squuuuaaaare!”

That was not an urban legend. In fact, it’s in the news again http://www.lvrj.com/news/42869357.html
