Today's riddle: Do you know what the two sides of a circle are? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. North Las Vegas officials break ground on 215 Northern Beltway Trail expansion (8newsnow.com) — North Las Vegas is starting a multi-million dollar expansion of the 215 Northern Beltway Trail, eventually linking the city to Henderson with about 45 miles of paved, lit paths for walkers, runners, and cyclists. Officials say construction should minimally affect traffic because most work happens north of the freeway, and they're coordinating with Clark County to connect existing trail segments around the valley.
2. Student found with gun at Las Vegas elementary school (news3lv.com) — A gun was confiscated from a student at Marion B. Earl Elementary School in Las Vegas this week, alarming parents but causing no injuries or threats, according to CCSD. District data show multiple weapons seized on or near Las Vegas campuses this year, even as firearm confiscations have declined overall, prompting renewed calls for parent–child safety conversations.
3. Las Vegas neighbors weigh in: should Huntridge Circle Park reopen? (fox5vegas.com) — Neighbors near Huntridge Circle Park in Las Vegas are weighing in on how the long-closed park should safely reopen, working with a local nonprofit, UNLV students, and city officials on redesign ideas. Residents are considering options like a dog park, theater space, and art fairs, and they'll host a large farmer's market in the park on October 24 as discussions continue.
4. 'Like lipstick on a pig:' Historic neighborhood criticizes high-end development (8newsnow.com) — Las Vegas neighbors from historic areas around Rancho Circle are pushing back against a proposed 61-home Blue Heron development at Alta and Campbell, saying it threatens their community's character. About 75 residents packed a town hall at Las Vegas City Hall, urging the land's owners to scale back plans and preserve the neighborhood's legacy.
5. 5 Nevada Spots Where Murals Cover Downtown Walls And The Whole Walk Is Free (takingthekids.com) — Downtown Las Vegas gets two big shout-outs here, with the "Greetings from Las Vegas" postcard mural and the ever-changing Art Alley both offering free, walkable outdoor art experiences. The piece also suggests when crowds are lightest and how to pair these murals with nearby Main Street art for an inexpensive afternoon out.
