I want to have a newspaper delivered every day when we move in. Any suggestions. Are the local papers available online? Thanks

There is a Villages newspaper called The Daily Sun, which most people get. It's fair and balanced, you know like Fox News. It has a on-line edition also.

The Daily Sun has all the info you'll need for entertainment in TV. Also Thursday's edition has the recreation supplement. If you're an early riser, the paper will be in your driveway in a plastic bag. (if it's double bagged, you'll know rain is forecasted )

LOL!
I do like it, however to see what our entertainment options are. I will continue to get our news from the NY Times, though. Thank goodness for the Kindle which downloads the latest edition at 5am every day!

The Daily Sun has the same Associated Press wires that other larger papers have. It doesn't just print local happenings. We got the scoop on Petraeus this morning.

Some of the news stands at the Villages postal centers have USA Today. And, the last I looked the Oxford US post office has The St. Pete Times.

The St. Pete Times (recently renamed the Tampa Bay Times) is a very good, Pulitzer prize winning newspaper. Luckily it is also available on the Kindle for 75 cents an issue or $9.49 a month. I like to buy the single issue, particularly on Sundays when I have a little extra time to read.
