We now have the second 'Post Independent Opinion' that we feel the folks can live with reading all the way through.
Times are a-changing. Thank you to the editorial staff on the PI.
This one is a great read. It's sincere, for one thing. No dominating press-op campaign for one or two local organizations. In fact, the well-said (and well spotted) mild criticism of 'buy local but comes from China?' is duly noted. Maybe our downtown merchants will pay attention to that and start spending the few dollars they have for inventory on unique, local or regional inventory. They need to restore the high caliber of quality shopping downtown instead of just filling shelves with what they can afford.
Is there any way you could use the power of your ink to help them with that? Like really do some investigative reporting on how effective (or not) our local ordinances and leaders really are? Get away from some of, if not all of, the canned PR and really get to know the readers and their lives?
Who knows.
Maybe it really is a whole new world out here.
just sayin.
