To the Editor,

I want to say a big thank you to whoever put those painted letters on the stairway between Main Street and Blue Back Square. Blue, white, and red across the brick wall. Mark Twain quotes. String lights. A mosaic on the side.

My kids trace the letters when we walk past. It makes a regular walk more fun.

The wall has some rust stains from water runoff. The letters are still there, just a little harder to read in spots. It doesn’t need a big project. Just someone to look at the drainage and maybe seal the wall.

Thank you for making that stairway what it is. A little maintenance now keeps it that way for years.

Respectfully,
Richard D. McSorley III
