I was thinking about the comments on this thread and have some thoughts. How many of the folks here once lived in a metro-area city? IF you're equating The Daily Sun to what you once read...then there's no comparision. To that I'll agree! BUT if you lived in a small town---it's similar to the papers from there. Homey, full of town-"news" and happenings with "some" of the other stuff sprinkled in. Years ago the local "paper" we got was a weekly and the "news" was about all the local folks and their social comings and goings. Imagine reading about stopping in for a coffee and chat as if it were a land-mark happening!! As for the radio---we listen 1st thing in the morning to catch what Larry and Jerry have to say. Generally we turn it off around 9 or 10 as we get into our day. It's really not much different than the stations from the smaller towns we lived in up north. Though up there you'd have "party-line" where people called in things "for sale" etc. They'd even share recipes. It's a free country (so far)---we can subscribe to whatever publication we want (either hard-print or internet) AND we can also listen to whatever we care to.
