Letters to the Editor

From the week of June 7, 2001

2) I lived in Cherry Creek for a year, and there is little or no street activity unless you count the covenant cops. Compare that to Washington Park and University Hills, where I have also lived. There is literally no comparison.

3) What on earth do driveways have to do with neighborhood feel? A neighborhood is about the people who live and interact there, not where they decide to park their cars.

4) Let us not forget that it is the wealthy homeowners building mansions next to charming bungalows who are changing the neighborhood feel.

Sleazy Listening

Morning becomes eclectic: I don't understand the parental concern about children listening to the Jamie and Danny show (Michael Roberts's The Message, May 24). It's a morning show that airs when kids are either sleeping or in school. I don't necessarily love the show myself, but I don't think that it's any more objectionable than Greg and Bo, and it's certainly not any more obnoxious than Dom and Jane.

Noise in the 'hood

Frankly, we'd rather be in Philadelphia:University of Redundancy College, Copy Editing 101. The first two pieces I looked at in the May 31 issue were these:

1. Backbeat caption to a picture of the band Mogwai: "Children of the Corn: Mogwai, Philadelphia's noisiest band, comes to the Bluebird on June 3."

2. Backbeat review of the latest Bardo Pond album: "The band's reputation as Philly's noisiest act is well earned..."

My question: Exactly who is Philadelphia's noisiest band?
