Letter to the Editor: Los Alamos Should Be Visited By The World – Not Shrouded In Secrecy

By MIKE WHEELER
Los Alamos

It’s always surprising to me the many experts who come out against initiatives of the council never having bothered to even make a cursory review of the issue.

The branding effort by the council is another way that the rest of the world can be encouraged to visit our community. The proposed brand was not developed to appease the local population but to give the world a more inviting phrase that will encourage visitors rather than turning them away as does the “atomic city” brand. I personally like the atomic city; however, I am not running a business dependent Read More

Dear Los Alamos,

This new building that Los Alamos has built is beautiful!

Letter to the Editor: Support Open Space Plan

By REID PRIEDHORSKY
Los Alamos

I’m one of those kids who came back. I had many choices, but my family and I chose Los Alamos. Why? What makes Los Alamos special?

My friends who live elsewhere are not impressed by my lab job. Nor are they impressed by the slower small-town pace of life, the great schools, the friendly people, or the opportunity to really make a difference in public service. These types of things are big pluses, but they are available in lots of places.
 
However, they are impressed by the fact that I can walk out my back gate into a forested canyon system on public land. If that’s iced
