To the Editor:

Sometimes we hear that students are caught inside the “Whitman Bubble.” However, last week’s Pioneer should disabuse anyone that has to be true. The articles about homelessness in Walla Walla, a new weekly radio show about topics of “relevance to the Walla Walla community,” an investigation of a game night at a downtown restaurant, and profiles of the amazing outward-facing basketball camp for local youth all point to the fact that Whitties are indeed interested in the fascinating piece of the map in which we all get to live.

Keep up the great work reminding us that the Bubble is only a figment of our collective imagination and that it can be popped with a little curiosity and some good reporting!
