Cherish Las Manitas
RECEIVED Fri., Sept. 29, 2006
Dear Editor,
My job recently relocated me to St. Louis, and I still refer to Austin as my home. I am compelled to write after reading the "David vs. Goliath" article in regards to Las Manitas and [J. Willard] Marriott [“Point Austin,” News, Sept. 29], and just wanted to say there's no place like Austin. I hope Austin's citizens and businesses can find a way to keep Austin growing without stripping its charm and character away. A lot of Austintatious landmarks have already closed for the sake of growth. I mean, how often do we wish the Armadillo was still around? As my bumper sticker states as I drive past the Arch each morning, "On Earth as it is in Austin."

Don't mess with ATX,
