Interview of transcript with Pamela and Stephen Grogan by Barbara Tabach, June 30, 2014

Date

2014-06-30

Description

Pamela and Steve Grogan met via Match-dot-com and married in 2004. They purchased a house in Scotch 80s with its own colorful history and enough storage for Pam’s extensive collections of cookbooks and cooking supplies. In Scotch 80s Pam has made a name for herself as a cook and hostess, and Steve serves as president of the Scotch 80s Owners Association. In this interview, the couple discuss their house, their neighborhood, urban pressures, and methods of maintaining atmosphere and traffic flow in a neighborhood they have grown to love. Pam moved to Las Vegas from Lockport, Illinois, with some friends in 1999. She had sparked her passion for cooking and cookbooks in Illinois, and in Las Vegas she developed both interests further when she began working as assistant manager for Sur La Table cooking store on the Las Vegas Strip. Steve became interested in Las Vegas after he advised the campaign committee to pass legalized gambling in Colorado and became the first executive director of the Colorado Gaming Owners Association. He left Denver for Las Vegas in 1989 after pursuing successful political and entrepreneurial careers in his former city.
