Now come on, surely you could have come in and talked to me. I am truly sorry you didn’t, as I have always had great respect for this town and the businesses in it. I have spent sixteen years of my life caring about it. I do not like the music too loud myself, I…
Here’s my first and maybe last letter. I’ve read similar letters on the same topic and it’s clear the complaints have been blown off.

The season’s total rain and snowfall was 5 inches under normal, but the late rains and snows were extremely…
The attention Idyllwild lavished on Ernie Maxwell during his centennial last year was well deserved. But it left his wife, Betty, the other half of the Town Crier’s founding editorial duo, in the shadows. Born in Missouri in 1906, Elizabeth Beeman grew up in luxury in New York City.
