I Like the photo of the corner of the court house, the historic marker, the Brick Front and the blossoming trees. But . . . how about the missing top and side glass on the lantern? Surely the city can afford a new fixture. It's often the little things that matter in in a city's reputation and the impression left on visitors,potential businesses or residents. And, please, no excuses about who owns the court house. Surely there can be compromise here. I will even lead a fund-raising campaign to purchase the new fixture if that's an issue. Or, we could purchase one less firecracker for the July 4th celebration and divert the money saved towards purchase of a new lantern. --George Kolbenschlag
