I am writing this letter to make my sugges- tions to the city council or anyone else who may have dealings with Christmas music that was at one time regu- larly played downtown during the holidays. I have lived in Waits- burg for 14 years and I loved to be able to go downtown over the holi- day season and hear the Christmas music. For some reason the last few years we have not had it.

WAITSBURG - Robbie and Mari- lyn Johnson hope the person who buys the Plaza Theatre from them will bring it to life for the community. The couple put the mission-style theater on the market recently for $499,000. "We know that there are people out there (who want it)," Robbie Johnson said. "We hope there's somebody who has the vision."
