I bet you are right.

Since I am not one to stick my head in the sand I want to know what goes on around me and what may affect me in some way. The Villages is not a gated community; it is not located miles from its nearest neighboring community or on a remote island. Both Villagers and nonVillagers are everpresent both in The Villages and in the surrounding communities. DUIs, felonies and assaults do occur both in and around TV.

Also many good things happen. I find the online news informative and mostly unbiased.

The reasons are obvious.

Obvious to whom? I personally like a global view in context.

Sorry the obvious should never be explained. For obvious reasons

50 dollars a year is crazy considering a yearly subscription to The Villages Daily Sun is something like 80 dollars

I'm just not sure I would pay $50/year for this particular online newspaper. Their reporting is frequently terse and sub par journalism. I wish there were some other source of outside news easily available online.

I already talked to Meta's group today. If you want to continue reading the daily emails and breaking news via email you can pay $25. Otherwise you can just go to the site and read it free of charge. So it is just to receive the email system notifications! I would pay $50 not to have any advertising on the site!
