Feedback: Only reason for land line is to be in directory Is local cell phone directory neededTo ColumbiaMagazine.com I for one would love the idea (of a local cell phone directory). I think it should be optional whether you want your cell phone number listedl not everyone would. Where I have a Business, the only reason I have a land line phone is to be listed in the directory so people can call Information to get my number. Then I pay extra for a package so I can keep my land line forwarded to my cell phone. I never talk on my land line. The only use I get out of it is the internet, and if I didn't need the phone directory, I could just get an internet line for a lot less money. s/Patricia Hatcher 2008-10-29 18:56:50 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

Feedback: SC KY schools conduits for dialogue About:Photo, KHIPP forum To ColumbiaMagazine.com Failure to credit constructive action, blame for the guiltless, and spinning the truth is the holy trinity of selfish, destructive behavior and bad government. Thoughtful, informed, and honest dialog is the foundation of freedom, the essence of community, and the engine of democracy. I have had the pleasure of setting in on the Mountain Top Removal Forum at Lindsey Wilson College recently and, of course, the Forum on Presidential Politics last week at Campbellsville University. Thank God that our South Central Kentucky institutions of higher learning are conduits for thoughtful, informed, and honest dialogue. s/Billy Joe Fudge 2008-10-29 01:29:07 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
Big Rig Big League Sportswriter: On the Chicago hotdog To ColumbiaMagazine.com: Anyone who has ever been to Chicago knows you have to have a kosher dill for it to be a Chicago hotdog! May be willing to give it a try if they can accomodate me with the kosher too. I will let you know. I also hope it is an all beef hot dog. Portillo's has some of the best Chicago hotdogs in the Windy City! Chicagoans take our food seriously. We do not like imposters! Big Al Owens Editor's note: Whether it's got celery salt, a pickle spear, neon green relish, sport peppers, or whether the tube is beef, buffalo, or hog meat, we don't think you'll find anything in Chicago, New York City, or even Clifton, NJ which is the equal of the hotdogs sold here. We eat them here because they're good, not because they're orthodox. If you want to pour a whole bottle of ketchup on it, it's your business, in this blessed land of open hot dog communion. -EW 2008-10-29 01:24:15 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Food
