New restaurant greeted

I would like to welcome a new restaurant into the Burien area. It is Germaine's Country Kitchen, which has moved into the old "Rudy and Sally"s " facility. This is the second owner since Rudy and Sally gave up the business a few years ago.

I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the sign for "Fresh, home-style cooking" at prices everyone could afford. The atmosphere is that of the '50s and '60s and the service is wonderful.

A champion for Lora Lake

In the Aug. 8 Times/News, Daniel Lee of Normandy Park asks two questions about Lora Lake, as follows: one, what do low-income people say; and two, would people "championing" the apartments live there?"

To respond to question one, I am a low-income person. It is my fortune, for which I am and will always be totally grateful, to live in a home of my own which is completely paid for. I also benefit from the disability property tax exemption.
