Assessment or Parking Meters for Cove Shopping Center?
Dear Editor:
[Installing] Cove parking meters is just a bad idea, period.
The District 4 commissioner says the taxpayers should not be paying for maintenance of the parking lot.
Who does he think parks there? I go to The Cove all the time. My dentist is there and I go to the Tip [Tipperary Pub] and American Rock [Bar & Grill] at least twice a week.
I own a small business in Deerfield. I don’t charge for parking — that would be a death sentence for any business.
The city manager says we need a study to figure out how much the owners would pay. Why does the city always need a consultant? Just do the math yourself. I’m sure we employ somebody who can figure out how much it costs a year to take care of the parking lot, then split [it] up with the building owners — who are more than willing to pay.
Sorry for such a long letter, but this subject really gets me going. It’s just plain common sense.

Observer column speaks to reader
Dear Editor:
I thoroughly enjoy your column [Everything’s Coming Up Rosen] in the Observer.
Over the years, I have always been excited when Everything’s Coming Up Rosen shows up in the [news]paper.
Your viewpoint on the matters of life consistently provides me with a moment’s reflection.
Your column on love was particularly inspiring [“It’s Love Time Again,” Feb. 5, 2015, Observer]. As I have reached my young age of 36, I have seen how past advice or wisdom tends to come true.
Love is complex and wonderful and requires nurturing to stay alive.
I can read from your lines the complexity of a sustained love and imagine folks in my life who strive to ride the different phases of love.
I have told numerous friends who are in a situation of weakness that falling in love with the idea of falling in love will not satisfy your situation.
I have really enjoyed your column and thought it important to let you know that your work is appreciated.
