Editor: I cannot lose another country. You do not know how it hurts to give up a country. I do, but this time, no one is going to take America away from me. Yes, history repeats itself. That is why I know and see clearly how we, the American people, are being used, abused and…
Editor: I would like to better understand the point behind the two photos and their captions, which were shown juxtaposed on page A6 of the Oct. 3 issue of the Town Crier. The upper photo shows four people holding anti-Trump posters in front of a large “Trump 2020” banner, which appears to be mounted behind…
Editor: On Sunday, Sept. 29, my wife and I had the pleasure of attending the 2019 Idyllwild Renaissance Faire held at Camp Emerson. Due to our job situation, we do not have the privilege of being able to reside at the top of the hill full-time. However, we visit whenever the occasion arises. And what…
It is a great frustration to have to wait at the traffic collection points both ascending and descending the hill. It would be great if we knew when a caravan left (specific time) so that we could plan our arrival at the assembly area and make the transit in a more efficient manner. I’m going…
Editor: In response to Frank Landfield’s letter to the editor last week: Idyllwild does have charging stations for electric cars. Well, at least one, that is open to the public. Maybe it should be better advertised. We’re not in the middle of town, but Fern Valley Inn has two charging stations. We can charge any…
Editor: I recently took a drive up to Idyllwild. I parked my car and walked around to see the sights. After a while, I realized I wasn’t seeing something. There were no chargers for electric cars. I am an electric car driver, so I am usually on the lookout for chargers. I did not see…
Editor: I was sad to read about the fire at Gastrognome because the article failed to turn this into a learning moment. My brother is a retired California licensed painter. Any licensed painter or any person who reads the label of a stain knows how to handle a rag with stain/finish on it. All the…
Editor: As a U.S. Army veteran and history buff, I was really taken aback by Gisela Stearns’ letter on D-Day. It must be convenient to make one man the scape goat for the evils done in Germany’s name. The fact is, Hitler didn’t elect himself. A hateful minority, around one-third of the electorate in a…
Editor: On Friday, June14, we drove into Idyllwild and were surprised to see a festival set up in downtown Idyllwild, no street banner or signage, just closed streets. Due to the festival set up around Idypark, two public streets were closed, Park Lane and Village Center Drive. Consequently, the only driving access to Strawberry Creek…
Editor: With all due respect to the many volunteers on the ICC board, I find it difficult to become enthusiastic about multimillion dollar phases 1, 2, 3, etc., when hundreds of our local residents are struggling to pay utility bills, buy gas to get to off-the-Hill jobs, buy food for their children, etc. I suspect…
