Letters: Urbanist View edition
Appalled at anarchy column Editor, I’m appalled at how willing your columnist Jason Combs was to admit he didn’t give much insight when writing, “Gentrification, Part 3: The Anarchist.” He says “Never having ever given much serious thought to anarchism,” as if it isn’t obvious by the state of the article he still hasn’t tried.…

Editor’s Note: Byrne bows out. What’s next?

IF FACEBOOK had existed in the Civil War, people in Savannah would have made outraged posts about the CSS Georgia.

SEAHORSES are beautiful and romantic, perhaps the marine life easiest for people to relate to because of their similarity to their earthbound namesake.
