Editor:

Kudos to the Idyllwild Town Crier for publishing such a comprehensive, quality print and online publication. I’m visiting the area for the first time, staying in our fifth wheel at Thousand Trails RV Resort and the first thing I did when coming in to town was buy a copy of your newspaper.

I recently retired from a long career working in the newspaper industry and am very impressed with the great job you do. I saw your photographer bustling around town yesterday and was happy to hear your amazing local business people giving the new TC owners and staff wonderful compliments while we discovered Idyllwild.

In an age of corporate takeovers of small publications and closures of many others, it is refreshing to see a publication doing such a great job of comprehensive communications and marketing. Kudos to your entire staff.
