twitterProtesters march against closure of F Street
Leila Navidi
Rev. Sam Carroll of Calvary Baptist Church chants with other protesters during a rally and march down the Las Vegas Strip to protest the closure of F Street in Las Vegas Saturday, April 18, 2009.
Saturday, April 18, 2009 | 6:47 p.m.
Nearly 100 people rallied against the closure of F Street today, marching down the Las Vegas Strip, passing out flyers and chanting, "No justice, no peace, reopen F Street!"
They began the march on Flamingo Road and Las Vegas Boulevard and ended the march on Convention Center Drive at the Royal Resort.
F Street has been permanently closed due to the I-15 north widening project.
The protesters call the closure biased and have filed a federal civil rights lawsuit seeking the immediate reopening of the street.

Those people need to get jobs and then maybe they won't have time to be all upset about losing their social hangout.
This case is being challenged in court.
The author Leila Navidi could have included the current status of the case in this article but didn't.
Perhaps an update on the case could yet be incorporated?
F street needs to go, bye bye F street!
Personally, I always find it interesting (and amusing) that every time the protesters march against the closure of F street, they march a GREATER distance than the extra distance that they have to detour to use D street.
A two block detour is so oppressive that it's equivalent to "being walled off"...but if you're carrying a sign then it's not too far? Very strange.
