Grateful for

gardening tips

I am very pleased to get this paper each week. The stories are very informative, and a delight at times. I try to grow a garden and other plants while I have lived here the past three years, and when I found Bob Morris articles I just love them.

Rabbits, flower

patches don't match

It was very dismaying to read your recent article, "Rabbit Saving Season," Summerlin View, Sept. 1, 2004. We have lived in Sun City for over 14 years and used to enjoy a beautiful flower garden -- no more. In the last five years we have been infested with hundred of rabbits. This year they ate all of our plants, including 142 new plants -- hundreds of dollars worth. We have bare ground now -- looks ugly.

We're fed up with rabbits. Tell the rabbit lady to come and get all of our hundreds of rabbits.

Scenery vs.

practicality

I am writing to you regarding Hollywood Boulevard and the group that is wanting to make Hollywood a scenic route, "Down the Boulevard," Sunrise View, Sept. 15, 2004.

I am not sure you are aware of the growth that has taken place the past few years on both sides of Hollywood Boulevard. It has become a very busy street, enough so that we now have two lights, one at the intersection of Charleston and Hollywood boulevards and one at the intersection of Lake Mead and Hollywood boulevards. The view of the city that we had a few short years ago is gone unless you count the occasional view that can be seen between houses as you drive along.

I believe there is a very small group that would like to see Hollywood become a recreational area. We need this street to be completed into a four-lane thoroughfare. A good bit of the street is already four lanes, although it is not marked as such. All four lanes are being used. I am north of Lake Mead Boulevard and east of Hollywood Boulevard, our only two major streets. We have no close access to freeways and feel that Hollywood Boulevard is necessary to our area.
