John S. Park Neighborhood Roundtable Discussion

Identifier

OH-02909

Abstract

John S. Park Neighborhood Roundtable Discussion with Robert Forbuss, Ina Porter, Sue Ann Porter, John Gubler, Mary Hausch, Judy Smith, and Margaret McGhie conducted by Richard Bryan on December 11, 2008 for the Voices of the Historic John S. Park Neighborhood Oral History Project. In this roundtable discussion, the participants take turns discussing their upbringing in Las Vegas, Nevada and living in the John S. Park neighborhood since the 1940s. The group recalls the deserted surrounding area, Fremont Street, and life during the Second World War. They talk about John S. Park Elementary School, the increase of homes being built in the area, and above ground nuclear bomb testing at the Nevada Test Site.
