Not sure if anyone here is familiar with a man by the name of Bill Cunningham who has a highly acclaimed weekly style piece in the NY Times called “On the Street”. He roams the streets of NYC looking for fashion and it’s not all high fashion. He’s a very interesting character and a movie has been done about him. The RT has “Style Street” ( and I would say they know of Bill Cunningham) and while it has no where near the depth of “On the Street” I like that it acknowledges that we here in SW Va. are not all a bunch of blue jean wearing rubes, such as myself. It’s ironic that this lady is a supporter of the Taubman for it’s cultural benefits but disses coverage of style as if style is not a reflection of our culture.

There are school shootings that are stopped by resource officers.

Roanoke County has had armed resource officers in the middle and high schools for years, I’m not sure about the elementary though.

I am willing to bet that the only kind of “constant judgmental attitude” Ms. Anonymous complainer objects to is the kind attached to a progressive or liberal.

This person must really hate FOX news. Not only do they judge everything but they also make half the stuff up!

From the letter: The only part of The Roanoke Times more irritating than your constant judgmental attitude is that thing called style something or other.

No kidding, Debbie. Good thing Ms Whatever doesn’t want the sports section removed. I’m not sure why anyone’s supposed to care what “I and my peers” are interested in.

On topic to Ms. Whomever,
All major newspapers have style sections and some people enjoy the blog on here. If you don’t like it don’t look at it. I don’t care about sports and don’t read that section of the paper. There are 24 hour cable news channels and a multitude of online news sources. If Dan’s column and the Style are your biggest irritant, consider yourself blessed.

Columbine had an armed deputy on duty at the school…he shot and missed the assailants. Fourteen students and one teacher died that day. So how did that work out?
