Re: “One Broadway Eyesore Down ...”
I'd like to see a Welcome Center built on the site of the Pine Motel. There's space for parking and room enough behind to put in a few picnic tables for out-of-town tourists. Now let's clean up a few of the other blights on Broadway and make a welcome pleasant entry from the south.

Re: “About that Mountain Lion Video ...”
I worked for the Forest Service 45 years and was lucky enough to see 7 mountain lions while in the safety of a vehicle. I often stop and wonder with all the time I spent doing wildlife biology work in the woods, often alone, how many times I was observed by one. I was once "chased" by a black bear sow who was 150 feet down a steep clearcut as her cubs scurried up a tree. I stood tall, raised by hands and huffed and yelled at her and she turned around. I had another closer bear encounter. We were working in a brushy clearcut where the brush had been crushed in prep for a later prescribed burn, looking for evidence of woodrat nests. A co-worker was working above us above a road and spooked a bear. According to him, the bear vaulted across the road and then headed, running, downhill toward us, it passed us about 6 feet away, bouncing off the cut brush as it bounded downhill, as surprised as we were.
