Back in my day (God, I have ALWAYS wanted to say that!) we didn’t get our news from Facebook or Twitter – we had this thing called a “newspaper.” And it was, believe it or not, an actual, physical paper that was delivered to your doorstep! Sometimes – but not always – you could even read it online!
I was a reporter and editor for a few different newspapers throughout my career, and naturally, I wrote some stuff. Ok, I wrote like, a lot of stuff. It’s not all linked here, because, well, like I said…it was a lot. So I threw in the towel at one point.
Interested in checking out some old news in towns you’ve likely never heard of? Well you’re in luck pal; I’ve got plenty of it. Click on the links below to read past articles.
