Longmont considers Fourth of July at Dickens Farm

KIMBERLY EDMUNDSON >> Blowing up fireworks in a nature area, who thought this up? Some dog owner whose dog hates fireworks?

LINDA SCHLAKE >> We have lost over 1,000 homes to fire in Boulder County and cannot afford to lose anymore. There should be no fireworks anywhere in Boulder County! LIZ NAU >> Yay! We need a celebration!

Johnnie St. Vrain: No, merci, to French toast on the sidewalk

STEVEN SOUTH >> Dear Johnnie: The recipient of every Karen letter in town.

JAMES HERRING >> Keep feeding the critters. We may have to eat ’em soon.

SCOTT SMITH >> The trash and empty booze nips littering the streets merits more notice, effort and clean up. If there’s crumbs on the sidewalk and you’re complaining, walk another route.

REBECCA WALKER >> I would explain to my neighbor that these foods are not healthy for wild birds. Then I might gift this neighbor a bird feeder and a bag of birdseed.

JEFF NOONAN >> Just let it go, people. So many real issues to worry about in this town. Put your efforts there.

JAMES HICKEY >> We are a wasteful society.

JESSICA DOOLEY >> You know they’re going to turn it into housing of some sort. Don’t take the bait.

MONICA MEISNER >> So we build, use it for a few years, then tear it down. Stupidity at its peak.

MARY HACKETT >> Still confused how this could not be used. Ugh.

JUDY HECKARD MATHIAS >> It was a good graduation center for Monarch High School, 2014.

ROGER CORNETT >> Why? Surely there’s something else that building would have potential.

Visitation at Rocky Mountain National Park slips again

JAM ROS >> Good. Taxpayers already pay to maintain the parks — if there are budget shortfalls, then we need to reconfigure/restructure sending taxpayer money to private corporations to build bombs for foreign wars, and we need to stop giving aid and comfort to foreign governments and foreign armies.

JEFF NOONAN >> Frustrated with the stupid reservation system.

CASEY KRATZER >> This is great news.
