Also Lancaster County is heavily Republican and they are very left leaning. Too bad, I loved reading it in the past. They neglected to appeal to the locals and very littleadvertising.

I wish I could give them zero stars. This paper is so Liberal it makes me sick. I think what…read moreanother reviewer wrote about being a Liberal paper is correct. When you cancel your subscription they want to know why. When you explain that they are a Liberal and only favor the Democratic Party they don't want to hear it and make excuses. What's really interesting is how they forgot who won the election, taking the popular vote, winning the House and Senate. You would think they would report both sides, but being owned by a Liberal, we know truth will never happen.

It really pains me to see what the current ownership and management has allowed this gem of a…read morenewsstand to become. Shady business dealings led to the rescinding of their ability to sell lottery tix, despite the store's reputation as a mecca for lottery. The magazine selection has been slimmed down to the point that I now subscribe rather than hoping they will get what I want. The abundance of food makes it seem more like a bodega than a newsstand. Bah!

Stopped in here to grab a drink newspaper on Wednesday because the name is Colonial NEWS and they…read moreadvertise they have newspapers. The place is dark and dirty. They had expired milk in their small refrigerator and it appears that they just head down to the nearest gas station and buy three or four drinks then mark them up incredibly high. Most of the "snacks" and other things in the area had dust all over them, there was even a dead fly. There was a crowd of people playing lottery tickets and there was no real order. I stood there for more than five minutes while the woman working there waited on everyone around me but me. She had a line at the register and a line at the lottery machine, but she continued to just take everyone from the lottery line, so I got in that line. At that point she took the man who was standing behind me in the regular line. Once there was only myself and one other lady waiting the cashier finally decided to wait on me. She was incredibly rude to me acting as if I was a burden to her, when a minute ago she was smiling and laughing with other customers. I went to pay for my beverage and two newspapers (they still had the one from Tuesday and I hadn't gotten that one so since they still had it I figured I'd pick it up) and she told me I could not buy the Tuesday one even though there were a stack of them sitting on the paper stand out for sale. I didn't bother asking why because at this point I just wanted to get out of this creepy little place and it was starting to fill back up with people wanting lottery tickets. I handed her a five dollar bill and asked if I had anything smaller. The paper only cost $0.75 and the over priced tea was $2.15 but my five was too big for the $2.90 bill. She reluctantly took my five and rolled her eyes at me. I said thank you to her and she just huffed at me. Incredibly rude for no reason. As I was leaving I heard one of the customers ask the woman if she can "front" him a pack of cigarettes because his food stamps aren't coming in for another week. I was completely appalled and this place should probably be investigated.

It has a lovely porch for reading outside in warmer weather, as well as some cozy seating inside. And the selection is excellent. They take care to stock books across a wide range of genres for all types of readers and interests. The store promotes a welcoming and inclusive environment for everyone, and the employees are always friendly and helpful. On my most recent visit I scored a bargain from the sale cart and got a hardcover on my TBR list for 20% off. They also have a nice selection of gift items and stationary. A great place to spend an afternoon browsing through all the rooms.
