    I don't think the eiffel tower is the same size. But the one in Paris isn't that big, so there might not be that big of a difference. But I'm sure ours is smaller. Hey, the french got to feel good about something- they have so little to be proud of

    But that particular photo I took is of the east side of the valley from on top of Frenchman peak which adjacent to sunrise mountain. The east side of the valley is older, and generally considered to be not as good as a neighborhood.

    And yes pretty much everything is aligned in nice little square blocks of houses. Except Summerlin. Summerlin is a master planned community that has rounding circular designs. That's considered one of the better neighborhoods in the valley. They have trees and grass everywhere that is seriously putting a cramp on our water supply. With this 5 year drought, we are really draining Lake Mead.

          largest total employment - i recall seeing that years ago, while i suppose Charlotte or wherever have grown, I think Tysons has grown even more.
