Letter to the Editor: More to the Story – Botanical Garden’s History
The ambience of the redwood grove will be forever impaired by the new fence. Beloved gardens are gone forever.

Letter to the Editor: Children Replace Hateful Messages With Welcoming Notes of Love
I’m a nanny, and the kids I care for, Kento, age 7, and Miya, age 8, noticed vandalism on the wall of the soccer field at West Sunset ball fields.
