@bflipp Sorry for your loss.
Yeah, my mom's hometown is maybe 800 people and I'm not sure how the local paper manages to stay in business.
Don't get it twisted, if your mom and her friends like their local gazette well enough to keep it running in the black ink (pun intended) then I say more power to them. The problem my suggestion is addressing is that increasingly, people don't. If they also don't want internet, that's fine too, but they can't expect to not keep up with the times and not get left behind simultaneously.
You're right, you're just too smart and deep and cool and attractive to even have a conversation with a lowly pleb like me.
I'm just confused why you wasted that searing insight posting it on the internet instead of having the clearly much more rewarding experience of having it publish in a paper with a circulation of 2 dozen 🤔 🤷♀️

It's a lot of garage sale announcements. We used it to ask people in our area for recommendations for a tree-cutting service once. And in my neighborhood there are a lot of "watch out for black bear on [X] corner" posts in the spring.
