(Dec. 18, 2008) Editor:
Thanks for mentioning my town, Fernbridge, in your story (“Red Hots,” Dec 11). But “The Most Conservative Place in the County”? I find that it’s probable the most liberal place out there.
Everyday at my store-cafe-bakery we get every type of person that lives around here. Who hasn’t been at the cafe counter to discuss local issues, news — some conservative, sure, but most of us just want the best for our country. And that’s why we all voted — because we all know how important it is.
I think my little store is bridging the gap between Garberville and Arcata. Conservative or liberal, I think finally we’re all in this together.
