Dear editor:

I enjoy Garth Turner’s witty though sarcastic comments in The Lake Report. In the last issue, he rails against the chaos of demolishing the Royal George (“The Turner Report: So much digging. So little telling“).

I think that with crumbling foundation and lack of space and facilities, this should have occurred years ago.

My concern is the excessive building on Victoria Street for rehearsal space, meeting rooms and maybe moving costumes from Virgil? Could those facilities not have been housed in the vast area of space where Upper Canada Lodge was?

And now that town council and we concerned citizens have staved off amalgamation, all I would have to worry about is lack of an X-ray facility in NOTL and where to buy ball-point pen refills.
