Isn’t Pahrump, Nevada where the famous talk radio guy Art Bell used to live? I always assumed it was a sleepy little desert town out in the middle of nowhere, where you could see the real night sky because there were no streetlights.
It was a sleepy town in the middle of nowhere. With Vegas growth it became a bedroom community- just an hour from Vegas and now there is about 30,000 people there and growing.
Funny thing... Art Bell put Pahrump on the map. He got married again and now lives in the Philippines. Armscor, I think is from the Philippines. So, it all works out in a cosmic sort of way.
Yup, we are a tiny little town.. nice place actually. The progressives have tried to sneak in and change the town, but they get beat back at every turn :) We dont tolerate them here too well.
Art is back here, and enjoying retirement from what I can tell. From time to time I talk to him on the local ham radio frequencies, its so strange just chatting with him as just another ham as opposed to the guy I listened to on the radio for years lol.
I may just have to up to Armscorp and check them out, they are up on the side of the mountain about 10 miles from my house. I had no idea they were expanding.
