The anonymous letter
To make gottaseeit happy, I took a photo of the first page of the first letter by Anonymous with my handy dandy phone camera:

About this blog
Richard Gorelick was appointed The Baltimore Sun's restaurant critic in September 2010. Before joining the paper staff fulltime, he contributed freelance criticism and features articles about food to area and regional publications. Along the way, he dispatched for short-distance trucking companies, shilled for cultural non-profits, and assisted in cognitive neurology research – never the subject, always the control.
He takes restaurants seriously but not himself, and his favorite restaurant is the one you love, too.

Yikes. Looks like someone got kicked out of real estate school.
And I'd wager to say that this person needs to go to A.L. and have a drink and relax.
Good penmenship, though, for being so angry.

iced tea on the monitor!

Hmmmm. Written by someone who knows you well enough to call you Liz.
I say we look for a deranged co-worker.
Calling me Liz is a sure sign they don't know me. I always go by Elizabeth. EL

Aaaaarrrrgggghhhhh. EL

great penmanship. i wish I could write like that.

Maybe Springs1 has resorted to more personalized, handwritten commentary?

Oops, didn't mean to post as anonymous!

I am thinking the writer is an older person 65+ maybe who is unfamiliar with the computer, hence pencil and paper. Feels rather proud of their neighborhood, and can't keep up with the changes. Be kind, we will ALL be there some day. I personally dread the day that I have to call one of my nieces to plug in my apple whatever!
But be careful EL the world is strange

You mean you don't want to be known as "Liz Large???" You could wear a big "L" on your clothes like Laverne Defazio!
Posted by: Greg | October 22, 2009 3:12 PM
This saddens my day...we can never have Liz Lemon meet Liz Large???????
Posted by: Odie B | October 22, 2009 3:34 PM
Wow, the last time I saw a letter like that it was signed by Son of Sam.
Anyway, I think I may head over to North Canton tonight and get some eats at Chicken Rico.
Posted by: Robert of North Canton...way North | October 22, 2009 4:23 PM
RoCK, isn't Chicken Rico in A-J West?
Posted by: Lissa | October 22, 2009 8:27 PM
Hey Odie B, wouldn't it be fun if "30 Rock" filmed a segment in B'more where Liz Lemon accompanies "Liz" Large on a restaurant review? And Alec Baldwin happens to turn up at the same restaurant, recognizes Elizabeth (they had a fling in college) and crashes the party/review thus outing EL so she has to take a job in another city ... Oh wait. That would be awful.

Point (if I can stop laughing long enough) to Carol in Hampden!
Posted by: Dahlink | October 23, 2009 6:37 AM
Carol, are you really really sure you're in Hampden?
Posted by: Joyce W. | October 23, 2009 10:35 AM
Well, I just spent a week in Chicago, and while I was there every NFL team I cheered for lost so I'm feeling rather dispirited. But I'm pretty sure I'm back in Hampden now.
