Our Parents Brought Us Here Regarding, “People Here Just Do and Just Are” (July 14 cover story), I can give you a little perspective from someone who lived in Linda Vista during the war years, particularly 1943, when my parents brought my brothers and sister, and me out here from Illinois because my father had gotten a job with Consolidated Aircraft. Linda Vista had been
built shortly before that to accommodate war workers because there was a big hous- ing shortage during the war. I think Eleanor Roosevelt was there when they dedicated the place — that was before we arrived on the scene. I was in fifth and sixth

On the street where I lived people were from Arkansas, North Dakota, Illinois, Min- nesota, Utah, Kentucky, and other places I don’t recall. There was one Hispanic lady and her daughter, and I think she was from San Diego but

One boy from Kentucky, his father whooped him for going down in the canyon. Other than playing in the canyon, there wasn’t much I liked about the place and I was happy when we moved back to Illinois. Anyway, just some per-
spective, for what it’s worth. Name withheld via voicemail
That Rose Stinks Re: News Ticker, July 14, “Bike-Share Program Bunk?” It is not a bike-share pro-

People’s Health over McDonald’s Profits On Thursday, July 7, Rady Children’s Hospital took the important step closing its on-site McDonald’s store (Neighborhood News, July 14, “McDonald’s Packs up the Fryer”). In ending its decades-
