»5/13/08 Be-Longing Las Vegas: Mr Happiness We continue our look into the challenges we face when building a sense of community in this region. We hear what it takes to overcome the fear of the unknown and actually reach out to strangers in a time and place when too many Americans are reluctant to do so.
And, in the second hour: One Thousand Places to See The Isle of Skye, cherry blossoms in Japan and Machu Picchu are just a few of the must-see places in this lifetime. Is Las Vegas on the list?
»5/12/08 Be-Longing Las Vegas: Blue Diamond We'll look at the small, tight-knit community of Blue Diamond, which is fighting the sort of development that has swallowed the Las Vegas Valley.
And, in the second hour: Foreclosure and Children In the wake of the recent foreclosure crisis, children are not only losing their homes, but their schools and friends.
