@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".
