711 here. VegasDon you mentioned Woodard Street in this video. This came from the Asphalt Memories book by Mark P Hall-Patton. Woodard Street is named for J. Warren Woodard, who arrived in Las Vegas in 1905. He managed the original Miller Tent Hotel at 1 Fremont Street. Later, he was acting Sheriff of Clark County in 1917 for less than a year and a local automobile dealer.

711 here. This came from the Asphalt Memories book by Mark P Hall-Patton. The street was named for Clyde C McDaniel, who owned the first North Las Vegas Chrysler-Plymouth card dealership from 1939-1960 and was the first elected mayor of North Las Vegas.

Some grimy areas of Vegas but they have nice smooth roads. Few potholes.

@@711vegas Terrific! Thank you, my brother!

711 here. If Lake Mead dries up, selling and owning boats will be the least of your worries.

@@711vegas LOL, You're absolutely right, my brother

711 here Owens Avenue namesake. There is controversy about the namesake of Owens Avenue. There is Mosten T Owens who came to Las Vegas in late 1880s. Mosten T Owens who was a partner with Tom Williams in the townsite which later became North Las Vegas. He also infiltrated the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the late 1890s and early1900s to report to authorities about illegal polygamous unions. Mosten T Owens was prominent in Las Vegas history 10 to 15 years before Robert Williams Owens. A second possibility is Robert Williams Owens. Robert Williams Owens who had a ranch in the area and was a Clark County undersheriff under sheriff Glen Jones from the early 1940s to mid-1950s. In 1980 when there was a push to change the name of Owens Avenue, the family of Robert Williams Owens raised major objections to Clark County officials to cancel the name change. Some believe these objections from the Owens family means Robert Williams Owens is the true namesake of Owens Avenue. Local historians do not have enough evidence to determine who is the real namesake of Owens Avenue.
