I count on my Review newspaper to let me know this type of information, but unless I’ve missed it, I’ve seen nothing. I love my St. Johns Review. Thank you for your work. Janet V. K. North Portland Hello... Dear Editor, I just moved to the area and found your newspaper in several businesses around town and love it. You just don’t fi nd these types of publications any more. Includ- ed is my subscription to make sure I don’t miss ever getting one. I notice where I usually get mine, they were all taken the next time I went in there. Sincerely, Dillon Archers No mailboxes. No phone booths Dear Editor: I want to start by saying how much I love St. Johns - it really feels like home to me. But I can’t help noticing the markers of civi- lization that are disappearing from our streets. First, I became aware that there are no phone booths any more. If one doesn’t have a cell phone, communication or even a call for help whilst on the street is not an option anymore. Today I was out to mail a simple card to a friend in California and walking about found that there are no blue mailboxes on the corners anymore. I walked to the post offi ce and even there you have to enter the building in order to post a simple envelope. It seems like the markers that we all grew up seeing and took for granted, are not there anymore. I suppose that is a way to test one’s age; if you don’t remember mailboxes or phone booths, you are showing your age. I love the newspaper, please don’t disappear. Marie Mc Kim Letters To The Editor: St. Johns Main Street Awards $18,720.00 in storefront matching mini grants to local businesses North Portland, Oregon. St. Johns Main Street is pleased to announce the recipients of our annual Store- front Matching Mini Grants. Lo- cal business and property owners from the St. Johns business district were invited to submit a request for one-to-one matching funds between $500-$2,500 to support improvements to the interior or exterior of their buildings. With more requests than funds avail- able, Main Street had some tough choices to make, but couldn’t be more excited for the great projects that Mini Grant recipients like the Man Shop will complete. Entering their 76th year in the business, the Man Shop will use grant funds to repair their iconic sign so that it will revolve and stay lit through the night. Golden Harvesters, a membership-based food coopera- tive serving low-income residents, will have exterior paint and land- scaping work done on their prop- Letters to the St. Johns Review are welcome and encouraged.
