Because of a new system they claim they needed to scan a Drivers License which shows my birth age. I told them my birth date but that wasn’t good enough.

In your last issue you published two letters on the subject of the 14th St. Busway, one of them from me.

I so welcome your new newspaper because the last two issues of WestView News were such a deviation from the one I had enjoyed for ten years

Dear Editor, Interesting reporting in the January issue regarding the restrictions on vehicular traffic on 14th Street. According to the article on page 11, we are led to believe that the “14th Street Busway”...

To the Editor In your January issue, Arthur Z. Schwartz tries to persuade us that the 14th Street Busway “has turned 14th Street into a desolate street.” His entire evidence for this theory consists of four photographs of vacant...
