Daily Sun?

[Shimpy]

Did they not print it for today?

[DeanFL]

Yeah....where the heck is our paper???? The are typically good on delivery - each morning at 5:00 on the driveway. Was waiting this morning. not there... 'course with the wind, it's in Ocala by now.

kidding folks. Even the P.O. closed... they never said wind> "Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds"

I believe in the Sunday edition there was a notice that Monday's paper would be delivered at 3PM.

[plimit56]

It will be delivered this afternoon, waiting for winds to die down so they can drive and get the paper to all.

:read:Right on the top of the FRONT PAGE. :highfive:

[Taltarzac725]

I believe the Sunday paper said it would be at your door step after 3:00 PM. But did not specify the exact time.

Wow that is impressive.

3:34 PM - I received a message on The Villages Daily Sun Mobile app: "Your Monday Daily Sun is on its way, look for it on your doorstep within the next few hours."

First class operation = like most places in TV.

I kept receiving updates from the Daily Sun, they did a great job.

Absolutely. The Daily Sun app proved very useful as I received many updates. I got one at 7 AM today reminding of the Lake County curfew that lasts until 6 PM today. Someone I know (not me or my wife) chose to go out for a drive and crossed over from Sumter to Lake County late this morning. He got pulled over by the police in Lake County was warned and told to turn around and go home. He lucked out that he did not get a ticket.

Still haven't received a paper in Tamarind Grove at 6:50pm and we have a excellent carrier. I believe they live in Coleman across from the prison, maybe they've got problems at their home.

Got the paper this afternoon.
I find that amazing!

[ColdNoMore]

I agree.

While I'm not a fan of the lightweight news they publish, they get big kudos from me...for even bothering to publish today. :thumbup:

I am completely satisfied with the Daily Sun for meeting my expectations with respect to their product. I applaude their effort to get out a paper under very difficult conditions. I will withhold the kudos for execution as no one on my street received their paper. They should have simply said " we are going to print a paper and deliver to as many customers possible under the circumstances. We apologize in advance to those who may not receive a paper due to the extenuating circumstances".

And no, I am not going to call them to ask why I did not get a paper. I get it!

[billethkid]

Paper on the driveway at 8:30 PM!

Refreshing to read a post that looks at the positive versus from an "entitlement" position. Nice job! :BigApplause:

Our paper was delivered today at 6PM [emoji849]

[John_W]

We did get a paper when I checked at 8:00pm. I mainly wanted to the paper today for coverage of the NFL, you wouldn't of known they played any games yesterday. All it covered were the college games on Saturday and some coverage of the Colin Montgomery winning a senior tournament in Japan.

Overall, it's the thinnest paper I've ever seen except for the POA that's delivered in the driveway. Then I noticed all the big display ads, the usual country club eats, and the doctors, dentist and lawyers. Then I realized why they needed to get the paper out. The Daily Sun's income of course all comes from advertising, another day of billing.

received our paper around 3:00PM.

It cause me to reflect on a time when many newspapers had both morning and afternoon editions.

Now with digital, etc its 24/7 hyperbolic, manic nothingness

I had completely forgotten the morning and afternoon editions of The Baltimore Sun. Thanks for triggering my brain. :)

I grew up in St. Petersburg and the Evening Independent was published until 1983. If the sun didn't shine for 24 hours the paper was free, even at the racks.
