Message: [QUOTE="willtalk, post: 2486289, member: 1220"] You make a good point! But what is just as important is familiarity. The area that Sparks is in is mountain and rural while LV is nust desert, show biz and and gambling. They have more in common with LA and Southern California than northern Nevada. Even Reno the closest larger city has nothing in common with LV other than gambling. I don't think people in the smaller states in the East understand the natural geographic and social divides that exist in the longer western states. People in Norcal would be more likely to consider her one of us than those people in Las Vegas. We are closer to Reno,and Sparks which are right on the Central California border, than we are to Southern California or even a lot of Northern California. High schools from the town I live in had a yearly game with a team from Sparks. Heck they would also bring their team down for scrimmages and MLK games every year. [/QUOTE]
