The stories, ads, some local history, classifieds and so on was all there. The photos were sharp, some in color some in black & white.<br />I actually looked at the entire thing! I have a chip in my car windshield and found someone close that could fix it. I found that a chicken wing place around the corner has BBQ wings for 35 cents on Wednesdays and I found that there was an Art in the Park show going on over the weekend.<br />The paper quit doing the PDF and I quit going to the site. I use Google if I want to hunt and pick for my news, but do you think maybe if I would look at an entire newspaper would others?<br />BarryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8514703016498961093.post-55699819361834857542009-04-28T20:36:00.000-04:002009-04-28T20:36:00.000-04:00There's still someone doing quality, independent, ...There's still someone doing quality, independent, locally based reporting on Baltimore.

But I hate carrying change, so me having three quarters for the Post is hit or miss, and a dollar...?
