It’s very rude when people make an appointment to come and look at my house for rent and don’t even show up or call. Pertaining to religion, the Constitution also guarantees “nor prohibit the free expression thereof.” Your bigotry must not infringe on others’ rights …

Does Hobart have tornado warning sirens? We need a warning. Can anyone tell me why the town of Merrillville needs to test their tornado siren every other day. I think once a week would be sufficient. It’s quite annoying. O.M.G. what a great lunch we …

Who would pay $5,000 to watch Black Hawks ice soccer? I’d rather go to the movie theater. How dare Rev. Sammy and the little powers that be think they can just yank a pubic figure a religious icon out of the ground and replace it …

Edward Snowden, the man who disclosed the NSA’s vast surveillance programs on Americans, should be hailed as a true American hero. What our government is doing goes well beyond what our constitution allows. Anyone who believes we still live in a “free” country is naive. …

It’s sad that senior citizens can’t go out for breakfast without the risk of being robbed. I’m a waitress and I’m boycotting teenagers. Teenagers are rude, disrespectful and they don’t tip. I’m sick of it and I refuse to wait on them. SHOCKING! Government’s got …

Thanks to town officials for providing these huge 98-gallon trash containers. Drive through town and it appears that nobody can fit them anywhere but the front of their homes. Nice trashy look. My yard is my business and nobody else’s. If I choose not to …

Use to love getting Orange Julius at the mall. Was happy to see Dairy Quee n bring it back. But disappointed, something is missing, not the same. Hey Obama ran his campaign on change. He didn’t say it would be for the better. Well, well, …

It’s amazing how well the person who created “The Dinette Set” knows my neighbors. Now that the renovation to Marquette Park is almost complete, it is so sad that parking lots were closed during the fall, winter and spring. For over 40 years I have …
