Weekend Picture Post: Needles, Ca.

[uberdionysus]

Needles, Ca.This is an impromptu trip. I was originally going to fly to Mexico City, hang out with a friend, and then the two of us were going to drive down to Central America. After about a month, I would fly back to Las Vegas and visit my parents in Goffs and Needles, California

Holy crap, Needles sure has grown since I was last there. That was probably twenty years ago.

[uberdionysus]

It's gotten smaller. From around 6,000 20 years ago to about 4,000 now. That Sam's Club is in Bullhead City, which is growing.

I take that back. Just checked the stats. We've been hovering around 5,000 since the 60s.

But you have a Sam's Club. And Big giant buildings. Those weren't there before. Tourism?

You missed my comment to you. That Sam's Club is in Bullhead City, which is growing.

Ah. Okay. Bullhead City is pretty spread-out. I'm not surprised that it's growing.
