You either move to a boot or in this case, since I'm the new correspondent, for Bayfield, I'll write an introductory column. Not really knowing what to write about I wandered down Howard Street to see my old pal the Moleman at, the Mile High Bar.

"To think we're just pups but look what's happened to Bayfield in the last 20 years or.so." Do you remember the movies at Pioneer Park? One year they showed Von'Ryaris'Express and Journey to the Centre sof the Earth. The screen is gone now, probably fell over the cliff. We used to be able to buy comic books at Utters. Variety for 10 -cents but then they went to 12 cents or what about the Crystal Palace, the Tuesday C ,d Mert's old green truck? What about dances at the Pav and "Lawr' Ind the Arabians"? Saturday morning you could c...lect beer bottles on the beach with a gunny sack and Gash them in for two cents each. Now they're .five cents each and we don't have to look so far. What ever happened to Eric's BBQ --chickens? You could play mini golf or feed Flowers' rabbits next door while you waited. It went on for hours but when all was saia ana aone 1 bid goodnight to the Moleman and thought to myself as I trudged .home, there doesn't seem to be as much snow as there was when I was a kid. But then again I guess I was shorter. If, you have .a scoop, an amusing .story about Ba$'field past or present or wish to make a profound statement get on the blower and let us know.
