They discussed what each person heard while ease dropping on the local party lines (remember them). Some of the more notable stand out where, Otis don't notice, Big Moma, Will Fat,Boozo, John Eger, and Scrooch. Just to name a few. Entertainment include, crab races, crab steaming,crab picking, crab eating and crabbing. Main discussion was about the 3 people on Gwynns Island who had purchased private phone lines. This was very upsetting to the crowd because the line of information (gossip) would be breaking down ! Meeting ended when the tide came in. <br /> were do I come up with this stuff? Hey it could be true?

The deceased in question was a relative of my best friend, who says that the newspaper editor is positively crackers. This is big news in our area, avoidable only with copious quantities of wine and by not subscribing.<br /><br />Independent filmmaker, did you say?

This is the kind of stuff that makes news in a small town newspaper!<br /><br />I love my hometown weekly - I still subscribe, even though by the time it arrives in my mailbox, it doesn't contain anything that could really be called "news." It's all ads for church suppers and firemen's carnivals and card showers for old people's birthdays...Meg McCormickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01226110990838922422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-86186269695151322412010-07-13T11:18:07.316-04:002010-07-13T11:18:07.316-04:00We have a local paper that publishes whenever they...We have a local paper that publishes whenever they can get their stuff together and get it printed,usually at least 6 weeks after the events promoted have happened.
