Ducks

These ducks are so cute.  Every morning they come over to the wall and ask me where their
breakfast is.  I love living in Summerlin and having the wildlife in my back yard.

Sun City Summerlin Honored

I have always felt very safe living in Sun City Summerlin because we have a security patrol that is next to none.  They are all volunteers.  They care about our community and are very vigilant and work very hard for the people who live in the neighborhood.
There are 230 volunteers and they keep our community safe 365 days 24/7.  How is that for dedication?
Mayor Oscar Goodman and Councilman Larry Brown presented this incredible group of men and women with Citizens of the Month Award.  40 members were on hand to receive this honor.
Each shift usually includes a dispatcher and four patrol cars.  There are some ex military and also ex police but many of these folks are just everyday people who care enough.
Thank you Sun City Patrol

Sun Rays

I took this picture last night from Palm Valley Golf course.  It just seemed to me to be a very beautiful picture.
I missed last weeks picture and I am sorry, I was at a three day conference on blogging and so it not get a
picture up.  No excuses but I learned a lot at the conference.  Hope you enjoy this weeks picture.  Let me
know what you think.  Am also still accepting local pictures taken in Summerlin to be shared with the world
on this hometown Summerlin blog.

Summerlin Saturday September 13th 2008

This is a very nice view of J.W. Marriott Resort and Spa. There is also a beautiful casino called The Rampart which connects with the Resort and Spa. The J.W. Marriott also backs up to the TPC Golf Course. Before Red Rock Casino opened this was the only Casino Spa Resort that was officially in Summerlin. Most people think that Sun Coast is part of Summerlin but the boundaries end just south of the J.W. Marriott. Thanks to LasVegasUndressed for this beautiful shot.

Developer Delays Opening of New Mall

If you are driving along the 215 beltway very close to Red Rock Casino you will see the shell of building that has been going on.  It now looks like a ghost town with the structures silhouette plainly not being attended to.  General Growth Properties of Chicago and The Howard Hughes Corporation announced plans to delay the opening of this long anticipated mall until sometime in 2010.  The Shops at Summerlin Centre was to open in October of 2009 and already had 100 retailers on board.  Some of these retailers included Macy’s, Crate and Barrel, Dillard’s, and Nordstrom’s. Summerlin residents have been hearing about this mall for a long time.

The developer has promised that the project will go forward but the general economic climate at this time.  John Bucksbaum Chief Executive with General Growth Properties was quoted saying they have the full support of the retailers to delay the project.
The Shops at Summerlin Centre will be beautiful when it is opened with pedestrian friendly shopping and outdoor gardens with seating for visitors to relax and enjoy their shopping experience.  There will also be condominiums built.

I was very much looking forward to the opening next year, but hope that the plans to open in 2010 will come to fruition.  I will post updates to this project as I find out more.

Sun City Bar Mitzvahs

In the Jewish culture a bar mitzvah or “coming of age” of a boy or girl is around the age 13.  But Temple Bet Knesset Bamidbar, a synagogue that holds services in Sun City Summerlin a community for 55 and over are planning to add a new perspective to this ancient tradition.

On November 1st 2008 at 10am 19 members of the congregation who are 83 years young and older will celebrate their longevity with a second bar mitzvah.

The celebration will take place at Desert Vista Community Center 10360 Sun City Blvd.
In the Jewish tradition if someone reaches the age 70 it is a start of a symbolic new life.  Rabbi Hershel Brooks is trying to convey there is much left that can be done with their lives.  Getting involved with family and community.  He wants them to think ahead and not think they are too old to try new things and to just try it.  Have hope for tomorrow.

During the celebration the 19 members will recite many of the same prayers and blessing as they did as a teenager.  The celebration is expected to bring many family and friends and be a well attended event in the lives of these remarkable seniors.
