Letter to the editor McKinley PTC Gives Thanks
Dear Editor, The McKinley Elementary Parent Teacher Club would like to recognize the over 60 local businesses that have supported the 2010-11 fundraisers that keep the music, ceramics and language programs available to McKinley students. Fundraising has included the annual Jog-a-Thon, the wildly fun street fair SoNo Park Holiday Fest and the Student Variety Show [...]
Todd Gloria commended
Dear Editor: Hats off to Todd Gloria: he not only found additional parking in Hillcrest, he has finally begun a dialogue with George Pernicano and his family, a feat that will lead to an amicable resolution to the Casa di Baffi problem. It is unfortunate that Jimmy Sullivan can only see his agenda in responding [...]
Bars and restaurants aren’t blight
Dear Editor: I could not agree more with Kathleen Mckaveney of Pacific Drapery in North Park (North Park News, February 2010). She makes sense, which is more than I can say about some of the other vociferous personalities prattling their overblown sense of importance in the form of biased opinions and absurd accusations surrounding the [...]
‘Disgruntled’ residents are resistant to change
Dear Editor, I would like to respond to some of the opinions expressed in the recent article, “Disgruntled North Park Residents Mobilize” (North Park News, March 2010). I have been in business in North Park over 40 years, and live within walking distance near Morley Field. North Park is one of the finest and most [...]
Setting the record straight
Dear Editor: This is in response to the article published on March 3, 2010, titled “Disgruntled North Park Residents Mobilize.” A community newspaper or any other publication that provides constructive and fair journalism should reflect the opinions on both sides of the story, and therefore I would like to respond to some of the statements [...]
Congratulations to McKinley volunteers
Dear Editor, A great project was completed at McKinley Elementary last weekend (Jan. 30-31) and our community again came through for the kids. Thank you to everyone for helping to finish phase 2 of the mural surrounding our school garden. Thank you to volunteers Michaela Guerrera, Wyatt Heidenfelder, Lana David, Donna Posin, Karen Kenyon, Richard Kenyon, Bovee [...]
Misinformation in coffee story
Dear Editor: I have been a resident of North Park since 1973 and have always enjoyed reading the North Park News, which has consistently provided local information that no other news organs have. As a journalist, you are, I am sure, committed to pursuing the truth in your reportage, but in Ruby Cougler’s article in [...]
Thanks to my Kensington neighbors
Dear Editor, A few months back, my next-door-neighbor’s house burned to the ground. But on the night of the fire, while I was frantically trying to save my own home from going up in flames, a group of my neighbors, whom I’d never even met before, let themselves into my backyard and, armed with leashes [...]

Boulevard on the rebound
North Park has been witnessing a re-birth over the last several years. Being a native, I remember a very different place than the one I see now. Part of that is because of the long-term work of dedicated volunteers like Tony Lawrence and Don Taylor, who contribute to this community in ways most people don’t even realize. [...]
