Hi myysterri, we generally use block numbers for that exact reason, as opposed to listing full addresses. There are instances involving certain crimes where it would be appropriate to list only a nearby major intersection or general part of town.

Full addresses are still available through other public means, such as fire dispatch logs, but our stories involving fires usually just contain block numbers. I hope that helps.

The_Next_Opinion, you're right. It wasn't quite that chilly this morning. It's been changed. Thank you.

Hi sevenfoot, I completely agree with you, and that's how we generally display them. But in this case, the images Metro released to us were very small (132 pixels wide), so there isn't a larger image to view. That's why these images are displayed the way they are. I hope that helps.

Hi DTJ,

I'm not sure why you express doubt with "recorded" temperatures, but as the story says, 110 is the highest temperature the weather service has recorded at McCarran on today's date, Aug. 23. Other areas, particularly locations at lower elevations generally in the eastern valley, might see slightly warmer weather on any given day, but McCarran is the official weather reporting station for Las Vegas.

As a side note, the warmest temperature ever recorded on any day in August in Las Vegas is 116 degrees.

Here are the official records from the local weather service office:
