Another Day in Las Vegas....Antigua or Parump?

Do not click on images to enlarge. Arrivals
Construction
New York, New York
More Real Estate Opportunity for astute, superior readers of L.E. Fant of Las Vegas:
Antigua offers one or two bedroom apartments on a sun drenched island (and possibly access to Eric Clapton's Crossroads Rehab. facility)for around $400,000 should you desire a change of pace.
Is Parump in Nevada? Does it really exist in the minds of Gentlefolk?
A friend of L.E. Fant is contemplating moving to Parump (which L.E. believes is north of Las Vegas and a blight upon Nevada's landscape).
L.E. suggested that his friend take a drive to reconnoitre before any further contemplation of such a, likely ill fated, move.
The so-called justification for such a move is that there are many large sized lots available in the area at inexpensive prices. L.E. Fant recalls the maxim of the smooth tongued flim-flam, sometimes Hummer driving, sellers of land which is not theirs: "Location, Location, Location."
In L.E.'s opinion this may be easily construed as "DO NOT BUY LAND WHERE NO-ONE WITH REASONABLE MENTAL FACULTIES WANTS TO LIVE." Parump is such a place indeed.
Its main attractions appear to be availability of unseasonal fireworks, brothels, the apparent encouragement by township fathers of the use of old, mostly orange with race track insignias, ugly, broken motor vehicles as landscape decoration for the seemingly endless lots with trailer homes (some with even less attractive "additions") perched upon and scattered throughout the otherwise barren landscape.
Of course we should not forget that it is home to "black helicopter" fanatical broadcaster Art Bell who apparently fits well with the community.
All these are valid reasons, in L.E.'s opinion, to avoid Parump as one would attempt to avoid the Black Death, stroke, heart attack or any cancer.
There is still land available in Alaska!!!
L.E. Fant's Blood Pressure:
Is still elevated at 167/72 this morning. He is now imagining symptoms.
Of course his call and correspondence to his health care provider of yesterday remains unanswered. Perhaps he should go to an ER?
