Avalanche of news! This small-town newspaper focuses on Alpine, Tx, and not much else. There was no national news in here to speak of. Front page headlines above the fold were about local school politics. It seems sorta strange with so much news going on in the world, that most of it isn't mentioned in here if it's not happening in Alpine, Tx. The Texas Crossword is amazing. It's in the shape of Texas, and the clues are ALL about Texas themed subjects or trivia. Yehaw! I'd subscribe just for the crossword! Here's a sample clue: 5 letters - "TXism: "cold as __ _____ house seat in January." The classified ads are pretty stacked. There's a lot of ads in here. They have a fun cooking section that seems to be written locally. In fact, not much of this material in the newspaper seems to come from the Associated Press at all. Boonieville seems to be the local cartoon. There seems to be some inside humor here. The letters to the editor are pretty hilarious too. There's some funny people in Alpine. read more

I don't know how hard it is to change an address, but I am not getting what I paid for. We need to improve on this. read more
