New electronic message sign
Published February 1, 2012 / by Steve Berentson
New this week to the family of electronic reader boards in Anacortes is the Island Hospital Medical Arts Pavilion (MAP) sign at the corner of 25th Street and Commercial Avenue. This little piece of real estate was once occupied by KLKI radio station, its own community message center for decades.
About Steve Berentson
A fourth generation Skagit County native who was moved kicking and screaming from this island community in 1960. I finally reclaimed an Anacortes address in 1980, and I have been in constant celebration of my return since that time. Many of us who call Anacortes home love Fidalgo Island for its natural assets: among them are rugged beaches, pristine lakes, thousands of acres of forestland and some awesome views of the Skagit Valley and surrounding islands. Another element of my love affair with this community is its people, both natives and immigrants. They will “star” in many of my journal entries.
