Then it became the same.

Then only one paper per day.

And now, mostly AP articles except for the local stuff.

We stopped getting delivery because you couldn't even read the thing without getting the cheap black ink all over your hands and anything else you touched after reading it.

Online is a pain because of the ads and the time it takes to download muti-pages for a single story but it's easier to remember to check in since I'm aleady at my computer most days.

Sigh.....

Maybe it's been too long since I had a subscription now but does $15/month seem like a lot to just find out about local crime and events?

Hey! Remember, too, when we caught movies on either The Early Show or The Late Show out of Philly? I even remember the clock that was the opening photo AND the theme song (with a tick tock sound) that started things off.
