Dear Sir,

Trying to “gentrify” Ajijic with colored cement crosswalks seems to be so out of character with our village that I was surprised to learn that some Facebook chat groups are full of supportive chatter about the “improvements” initiated by the Chapala administration.

Dear Sir,

I was disappointed to read former professor Michael Hogan’s so-called book review of Todd Miller’s meritorious “Empire of Borders” – it was just an anti-U.S. diatribe of Hogan’s inflammatory and unreferenced opinions dealing with other author’s works.

Dear Sir,

It appears Chapala does not understand the new noise law – or doesn’t want to.

Dear Sir,

As a child, did you ever skip a flat stone across a pond, and be fascinated by the ripples? Out they go, spreading far and wide, bouncing off whatever they encounter to make new ripples.

Dear Sir,

We couldn’t agree more with Mr. Houk (Letters to the Editor, May 11).  I have lived in the center of Ajijic since 1993 – for 26 years. 

Dear Sir,

Regarding “Noise Complaints Stack Up” (Guadalajara Reporter, May 4): Has anyone noticed the continued failure of the Chapala government to initiate similar crackdowns here on the plague of businesses and faux restaurants that mainly sell booze and loud noise?
