Ahh! You don't see it as much in Atlanta. I had idly wondered, in a fit of whimsy, if there wasn't some sort of secret coalition of shopping cart enthusiasts that had a competition on "Oddest Place to Park a Shopping Cart" or "Most Creative Way to Park a Shopping Cart."

I've never had a problem with my SiriusXm dropping. I've seen a subscriber since they first launched and I did notice that the receiver antennas do go bad over time especially if they are exposed to the sun all the time. I had a few antennas that i've replaced already and I found the best place to mount them is on the outside and not the inside of the car. If they are mounted on the outside then they are probably going to go bad quicker than the ones in the inside.

The Lakes is the area right next to Summerlin. I used to live there long ago.

I never have GPS or Sirius issues in the valley, HD Radio drops out all the time though.

GPS does get interesting on the 15 these days (project neon, not signal), if you're depending on GPS near the spaghetti bowl you're pretty much screwed.

I've had signal drops in every vehicle I have had with XM. I still prefer it to the radio though.

Often hood rats will place carts so they can easily hop walls.

I have watched them do it quite a few times.

Esp in the back of the parking lot of the Alexander library

that way they do not have to walk all the way to the entrance to get to their apts etc.

That’s how I can best describe my feelings too. It’s hard to explain exactly but I loved Green Valley right away, I strongly disliked Summerlin despite spending an entire day there. It looked more desolate than I expected versus Green Valley that lives up to its name. Downtown Summerlin seemed to me a work in progress, it wasn’t busy, or walkable, or interesting. It was just kind of... there. And very overpriced. I’m glad other people like it, something for everyone to be sure, and many expensive houses there but I didn’t feel you’re getting what you pay for at all.

When it comes down to it until you see each area you just can’t know what will feel right to you. I thought I’d love Summerlin, but ruled it out completely after my trip.

If the County Commission wanted to do something useful, they"d pass a law requiring all the large stores to install cart retention systems in the lots.

This would be sooo nice. We have an Albertson's nearby, and their carts sometimes end up at the edge of our neighborhood. I went and talked to one of the managers about it, and she agreed that it would be nice to have one of those. But corporate didn't want to spend the money to install one.


We agreed that in the long run it would be cheaper to install the system instead of either paying a company to retrieve it, do it themselves or just lose a cart. Those systems are a win/win for the store and the surrounding neighborhoods.
