Don't flatter yourself, Bro, my comment had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with you, I don't even remember you ever saying you stayed there.
I lived there MYSELF when I was about 20-21 years old (I take it you were much older than that when you stayed at those places) for about 6 to 8 months. I also stayed at the one next to the Frontier and Stardust for a short time as well.
I came to Vegas Via a Greyhound bus when I was 18 with less than $300 in my pocket from the sale of my blown 1970 Chevy Nova. I moved around to different places many times in Las Vegas. I would say there have been more than 20 different places that I have lived in Vegas. Oftentimes, I didn't have a choice; I just took the cheapest, most convenient thing I possibly could as I was living paycheck to paycheck until I got into Advantage Play. I had no safety net.
I lived on 1st and Bonneville, Cason and 11th, The Katie Arms apartments on Twain and Swenson, 13th Street and Mayland Parkway, and in the Naked City. At the time, I didn't think those places were that bad; it's not like I was able to get into the safety of my car and drive away, as I didn't have a vehicle at the time, therefore, I walked or rode my bike everywhere.
Perhaps it was just ignorant bliss, but I didn't think those places were all that bad at the time and I never seemed to have an issue at the places I lived or in the neighborhoods. During my younger years in Vegas, I was almost never home anyway. I used my house to sleep, shower, shave, and fuck. Other than that, I was either out working, chasing tail, shooting pool, or hanging out with friends and then chasing more tail.
