@BobStep i think #berkshireHathaway sold OCReview - probably to same folks. Lee. Will look up. @mrsmith to get a letter to editor published by this farm family supporting #repAbigailSpanberger took tenacity. Our salesrep got the LTE published. I was like a dog with a bone with the editorial staff #charlottesvilleDailyProgress who edits "our" weekly

@BobStep #orangecountyreview is $3 bucks. Yesterday at #wolftownMercantile husband went for his keg of #devilsbackbone beer, #kitesHamBacon and #wolftown #friedchicken. While he waited he found obit for our friend, a former local innkeeper...told me about it rather than buy 8-10 page paper. Store #proprietor bemoaned the price for a "watersandwich". If #charlottesvilleDailyProgress et al is #for-profit model, it is poorly managed and a model for nothing but how to kill an essential business.

@BobStep this is the solution to #localjournalism. Our local weekly paper now runs obits and very little else that is truly local. #orangecountyreview #charlottesvilledailyprogress now "runs".
