up north visiting empire/glen lake, michigan
reading one of the little local papers
the leelenau enterprise
when what do I happily stumble upon?
two letters to the editor.
the first,
a thank you to the 25 snow plow drivers and support staff who drove 15,000+ road miles over 5 days to clear snow during the recent insane blizzard – yes, superhuman heroes
and next,
a casual observation about a recent local big foot sighting, simply advising the other locals to use caution, no big worries.
I really have a great love of local papers
these are just two reasons why.

There is no better or more satisfying way than with a newspaper in front of you. And Bigfoot! In Michigan! I thought they lived in California and the Pacific Northwest? Nice post Beth.

yes, I love local papers too: the quirk of them, the finicky attention to little details ; the demise of our local paper in print a few years ago was a loss —-
