Not every child has a laptop, let alone an outdoor space overlooking a river. Take a look around.

Thanks, no thanks
Thank you to the City of London for cleaning up Highbury Avenue. What a wonderful difference. This shows the city is listening to its citizens. It is too bad some people are the cause of that mess and don’t know where to throw their garbage!

Women, not girls
I won’t bother responding to the outdated, ridiculous notion that women somehow are taking jobs away from men. However, his referring to employees at CTV London as “the weather girl” and the “weekend girl” does need addressing.
These individuals are grown women, not girls. In the same letter you mentioned “young males” rather than “boys.” Is that gender equality?

Red-bellies, flickers, the hairy and downy all live here. They make their homes in tree trunks and find their insect meals on trees. They are happy visitors at feeders, especially in the winter.

Closing golf course a lost opportunity
Once again our city council lost out on a chance to generate revenue and lower our city taxes.
If they had kept River Road golf course open, they could have made money by fining golfers who decided to “break the law” and play a round just like they did to those morons last week who hopped the fence to play at Fanshawe. Oh wait a minute, they did not do that but let local TV carry the disgraceful performance of idiots who make the rest of us golfers look bad.
