Tourist enjoys downtown Ritzville

Last week, I received this card and wanted to share it with all of you.

“Hello Mayor Kadlec…

My name is Loraine, and I am traveling across the U.S. with my friend, and we stopped into your quaint town. Our first stop was the Railroad Station (the museum was closed), but we really appreciated the placards with descriptions!

The history of the building posted was AMAZING! The folks at your drugstore (where I purchased this card) were so friendly & helpful!! I also happened to meet the lady that is in charge of the Senior Center passing out flyers on Main St. We have been to so many places across the states & your town was seriously one of our favorites! Keep up the great job here!!”

I would like to point out that many are stressing about the lack of business activity in our little historical downtown… then a tourist takes the time to visit the downtown area and it makes an impact large enough that she takes a minute to buy a card and write the mayor.
