MidlandToday welcomes letters to the editor at [email protected] or via the website. Please include your full name, daytime phone number and address (for verification of authorship, not publication). The following letter is in response to a letter published June 25 that questioned town's decision to replace 'heritage' stairs, which was in response to a story published June 23 titled 'Iconic Little Lake Park gardens, stairs getting facelift.'
I do have to agree on your reader's letter in Midland Today.
This is a part of our heritage and having been born and raised in Midland the staircase holds a lot of memories for a lot of people, not only in Midland but out-of-town visitors.
I think it is the wrong thing to do to destroy heritage of our parks, which at one time a beautiful peaceful place to sit and connect with nature.
May I add that the original pavilion that sat up at the top of those beautiful stairs is still standing out at the Midland Mountain View Ski Area and is used as a chalet for cross country skiers.
