Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor,
Years ago in Baltimore, the powers that be created a unique traffic pattern. Traffic would move North to South (and vice versa). Then it would be East/West turn. Then, ALL traffic would stop and pedestians could then move in any direction, including kitty-corner.
It was called the Barnes Walk-I don’t remember why!
Maybe a similar pattern could be used at Hancock/Clark.

Response to last week’s ‘Our Voice’
Dear Editor,
I am in agreement with the concept of the piece, but it has a deeper meaning than just the apathy of our countrymen. It has been a neglected subject in American schools from kindergarten to upper schooling and undervalued by parents.
This has, in my estimation, led to a knee-jerk patriotism, where patriotism is defined by the latest news story, media frenzy and/or movie, with no knowledge or understanding of the realities, facts, history or understanding behind the story. A history of sound bites, if you will.
The misunderstanding of the importance of history and geography of this nation is not one of apathy alone but shows a lack of importance to the democratic nature of our wonderful freedoms and their meanings.
