NEWSPAPER CONNECTS US



Many thanks for all your work to get local stories and events out to our
communities! I moved to the Como neighborhood in 2021 as a new homeowner during
the pandemic, and I’ve felt so much more connected by having this awesome
resource.

I always start reading with the intent to skim, but end up making it through the
entire paper each time! The stories of connection and joy, coverage of Como HS,
latest update on the historic library debate, and Mr. Giles’ column always
leaves me feeling hopeful. As a public health worker during this time, it gives
me relief to see the ads for vaccination, fact-based information about COVID-19,
and the highlights of cultural wellness initiatives.

Thank you for all that you do!

Warmly,
Emily Regan
