I appreciate the helpful responses.

Of course, guest, as a local here now, I know about the 115 degree F heat, as I often have to wait for buses in it, and most locals wouldn't be caught dead outside in the middle of the day, unless you're talking about construction workers, mad dogs, and englishmen. And, just for the record, prostitution is illegal in clark county.

I'll look into all the suggestions, and maybe see if there might be the occasional street fair or farmers' market (yes, we do have those).

Thanks again,
Teresa
