Sorry-looking

Dear Editor:
    That is one sorry-looking wall and it is just screaming out for a wonderful mural to be painted on it [‘Eyesore,’ August, page 14-ED]. My thought is to work with District Six (police), mural artists and neighborhood youth programs to develop a wonderful mural as a neighborhood project.
    Of course, permission to paint on the wall needs to be obtained from the owner and $$ would need to be raised for the project, but all are doable.
    If you haven’t done so before, check out the alley beautification murals between 8th/10th and Santa Fe/Inca. These were done nearly three years ago and still look great. A mural was (also) painted on the wall of Grace Gallery at 9th & Santa Fe Aug. 3...utilizing neighborhood youth and mural artists, which you may want to check out.

Have courage

Dear Editor,
    I really don’t understand people like “Park Lover” who passionately spout very definite opinions of what is right in (Cheesman) Park and what isn’t [‘Life Mail,’ August, page six, ‘Who wants that?’-ED].
    He or she was happy to go on at great lengths–ten paragraphs–but then doesn’t have the courage of his/her convictions: “Name withheld on request.”
    If you are not willing to acknowledge and stand behind what you say, you shouldn’t say it!!
