Listings Loss
Dear Editor,
I’m deeply concerned about the lack of arts listings in the printed edition of The Austin Chronicle. It was such a wonderful resource to the community. What happened? How can these listings be reinstated? I fear that people are losing out on an important aspect of Austin culture.

Setting the Record Straight
Dear Editor,
As the author of the nomination for the Rosewood Courts Historic District to the National Register of Historic Places and the author of a forthcoming scholarly book about the history of public housing in Austin, I would like to offer a correction to Kahron Spearman’s article about “E4 Youth’s Augmented Reality” at this historic public housing project [“E4 Youth’s Augmented Reality Offers a Step Into Historic East Austin,” News, June 5]. Rosewood Courts was initially designed to comprise a planned neighborhood development of 130 units of public housing, not the often repeated 124 units. The Austin Housing Authority took six units offline for administrative and other purposes over the years. There are other aspects of the history certain Austin interests have chosen to keep buried. For those more interested in information than propaganda, I encourage your readers to read my nomination.
