Paramount Theatre
Great Local Coverage for All
RECEIVED Sun., Sept. 11, 2011
Dear Editor,
Thirty years and growing! For this anniversary (and as a former contributor to your historical cultural predecessor, The Austin Sun), I would like to thank your editors for the continued excellent work that you do on local news reporting. I always appreciate quality journalism when I see it, and I know that you probably don't have to do it but for your passion and professional integrity. The work for the Sept. 9 issue is a good omen for the next 30 years. With writers like Wells Dunbar and Richard Whittaker, I know that I can leave Austin for a week or two, come back, read the Chronicle, and still have a good idea of what has percolating beneath the surface of our local culture. I love that "Awe, disaster, and perverse beauty: a contradictory jumble signifying the path Austin's on – along with our state and nation" [“City Hall Hustle,” News, Sept. 9]. When you write on education, I usually learn things I didn't know, and I wish everybody would read the Chronicle, no matter where they find themselves, here in Austin, or located somewhere on the Internet.
