Small-town America at its best

I read the Travel piece on Chloride in the Sunday Review-Journal. Deborah Wall gave a good overview of the town. But to see its heart, one must visit when they celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. This year, the parade will be March 16.

The town honors the early silver miners, who were mostly Irish, by re-creating a bit of their past. There will be bake sales, vendors selling everything from souvenirs to antiques, “shoot-outs” at the old corral, corned beef and cabbage, a raffle for some great and fun prizes and the parade.

It is small-town America at its best. The Las Vegas Valley Model A Ford Club has participated in the parade for more than 15 years. This year, we’ll again be driving our cars to Chloride.

LETTER: No conspiracy involving Hunter’s laptop

The R-J should acknowledge that Mr. Trump’s lies, frauds, defamations, criminal indictments and convictions are exponentially worse than Hunter’s laptop being evidence or any of the other alleged Biden missteps.

LETTER: Trump tries to win Nevada

Mr. Trump advocating for tax-free tip income is definitely one approach to winning Nevada. But my tip to Mr. Trump is to pick Marco Rubio and show the diversity of the GOP.

LETTER: Red Rock development ‘compromise’ is depressing

Red Rock Canyon is a fragile natural wonder. To claim that 3,500 homes and the traffic that goes with them, and changing the nature of the watershed, will not negatively impact the area is absurd.

LETTER: Russian warships off the Florida coast

It’s strange that the mainstream media are treating Russian combat ships miles off the Florida coast as nothing to see here.
