Not enough Readers in Mission Beach
Mayor Todd Gloria's skin color

Reader seeker’s lament
We’re long-time residents in San Diego, and one of the highlights of Wednesday has always been a walk to the local market to get our copy of the Reader in order to plan our next week’s events, as well as to spend time reading your often insightful take on some topic of local interest.
Recently, getting a print edition of the Reader has become next to impossible. Why so? Surely all of those cannabis shops, auto dealers, and dentists are still paying enough for their ads to enable those of us who follow you loyally to get a print copy, are they not? And if you drop a certain delivery location, it would be nice to inform us of this fact by placing a notice in the rack. Otherwise we engage in the Sisyphian labor of trekking to the Coast Market at the corner of Mission Blvd. and Ventura Place with no rewards!

Curious about contest
Wondering who the winners were of the “What’s it like on the street where you live?” contest. I didn’t see an announcement, but may have missed it. Please advise and thanks!

I hope this email finds you well. I submitted an entry to this neighborhood writing contest and I am having trouble finding the content for the winners in the February 2024 issues. Please let me know where I can find this content. Thank you for your help!

The response for the Neighborhood Writing Contest was so great that we were not able to compile our list of winners until this week. We apologize for the delay. - Ed.
Throwing shade
Dear esteemed San Diego County Reader, Letters Editor(s), whom it may concern. As regards the clearly skilled and talented political cartoon works of Neal Obermeyer which occasionally appear in the first few pages of a Reader. When depicting the creature named Todd Gloria, currently occupying the San Diego City Mayor’s office 2-4 years now, a politician who once styled himself — in a rare publicly accessible speech — as – “a person of color” (while colors are several of course), what artist’s palette color does Mr. Obermeyer employ for his skin complexion: tanning booth or tanning lotion?
God, how this San Diego County resident of forty-plus years would be glad to have a city mayor in office of such benevolent quality as Mr. Jerry Sanders or Kevin Faulconer.

Trap the trappers
I don’t understand why you deemed it necessary to print the ‘flashback’ paragraph from 1989 on the pain and suffering of trapped animals (“We're the new wardens," From the Archives, March 7). I’m sure most of us do not want the image of these helpless, suffering creatures struggling to free themselves in their minds. And by the way, anyone who traps an animal in one of these devices deserves to be tortured in the same way.
