Think Before a Move

We moved to Pahrump about 7 years ago after our home in Las Vegas sold to the first couple looking at it, and we couldn't find a home there that we liked in our price range. What a mistake in my eyes! There is only a Walmart for shopping except small stores, 99¢stores, and 2 grocery stores!!! Restaurants are OK, some in the local casinos, most others fast food or individually owned. The one good one that is at a winery changed and is no longer so since the winery was sold a couple years ago.
I don't want to to sound like a whiner because I really have tried to like this community. But we have to drive to Las Vegas for ALL our doctors because we are retired, on Medicare with a secondary insurance, not an HMO. Both my husband and myself see 3+ specialists in addition to our internist, some who just aren't available in Pahrump. If I want to "really" shop, I either drive to Vegas or do it online.
So if you are looking for good (or great) shopping, and restaurants, plus entertainment, this isn't the town for you. And please, please don't move your children here. There isn't much for them to do at all, no movie theater, kids clubs, plus the latest high school graduation was only 89%! That is really sad!
