I just wanted to thank all of you at the Jet City Maven for starting up a well-designed real community newspaper, having Stan Stapp write for you, not being afraid to cover neighborhood issues like the "black hole of Wallingford," trying to present both sides of issues such as Thornton Creek being on the brink of coming back as a salmon habitat, and being accessible and committed to listening to your reader customers by providing an e-mail address and fax number for us to send in our story ideas and letters to the editor. I wish I could say the same for some of your alleged competitors...
