Old post with update:If a Letter to an Editor in a local paper counts, then I’m officially published

I always appreciate feedback so please leave comments for me. If you wish to contribute to this blog, email me–gloria at gloriascorner dot com

On Nov 5, 2006 my letter to the editor of our local newspaper was published. It was in response to a road project done  in the neighborhood that  forced me and many others who travel that route to take a right turn into oncoming traffic. You see, the adjacent city extended the curb, a bit too far, so without resorting to the practice of jumping the curb, there’s no other choice. What makes this even more dangerous is that there is an elementary school right there near this corner. I guess this letter somehow appointed me as leader in the struggle to get the situation fixed. Well I didn’t wish to make a big deal of this as I lacked the time for it, but I did want to feel safe when I turn onto that street on my way home from work.

Update 09-11-09:  Nothing has been done. I still pray all will be well as I take the turn and hope for the safety of all the students at the school.

Have a nice day
Gloria
