GOING UNDER COVER
Hip hip hooray [for “Who idnapped the State Theatre,” December 2009, by Todd Richard] Hearty congrats. Well-deserved Great ob. Love the snippets at the end where you get the runaround. “Go talk to ” “Have you talked to ?” Jenny nastaso , Portland
Nice. Ji Marks, ouston, T
I really, really en oyed the article about the State I’d always wondered about that, but no one could answer it for me. Mac en ie Rawcli e, a pden
Nice goin’, Todd YOU ARE AMA ING Yes, I am so e cited that I am yelling at you. Melissa arris, Portland
For years one tenant owner after the ne t would take over and slowly let the place fall apart, letting the ne t guy deal with the damage and issues. This went on until eventually it was not safe for operation. Improvements have been ongoing for years now to get it up to code, [including] new fire escapes, upgraded fire safety, upgraded replaced electric, new bathrooms, e tensive masonry work inside and out, and many, many more improvements that most people never see. It will be back someday,
but the ne t tenant will be held to a much higher standard to keep the place operating safely and up to code. .L.Jack, acebook
A HIKER’S BEST FRIEND?
Loved your “Notable Maine Dogs” story [December 2009], but I’ve got a black Coon cat that hikes with me and is smarter than some three-year-olds. How about some e ual time??? Sherry Miller Welch, al outh
FOREST CITY MADELEINES
I read your article about Cushman’s Scotch cookies [“Your Summer is ery Important to Us,” Summerguide 2009]. I do remember. How delicious Marion Ross, al outh
I have had another wonderful conversation with a Mrs. Joyce Curry, who read the Scotch cookie piece in Portland Maga ine s Summerguide 2009 and wanted a copy of the recipe. She has a 10 -year-old friend who used to work at the Cushman Bakery, and Joyce read out your article to her. Hope you are well and en oying this fine life eborah Bow an, Chebeague Island Library
SOME LIKE IT HOT
Wow. What a wonderful, scary, and appropriate illustration for “Ice” [December 2009]. THAT is my favorite story illustration ever. It actually gave me a chill.
As always, I am proud to be in your maga ine. Thank you for letting me be part of your work for so many years. Your work has helped made Portland a real city. See this month’s arper s for a terrific essay about newspapers that would also apply to your maga ine.
PM matters. an o ench, nion
