We get another paper through the mail as well and it comes ON THE DAY of the news and that paper is FORTY dollars cheaper for the same 13 weeks! FORTY dollars cheaper!!! Unfortunately, my Father has dementia and enjoys reading his paper every day; he has lost so much - I cannot take away his paper too. SO...I will continue to pay this ungodly fee for this POOR service! DO BETTER News and Record! You have faithful customers who are aging and can't afford this outrageous cost; they deserve better treatment and more cost-effective papers (especially when online news is not an option). For some, it's all they have! Sincerely, Long-time Customer's ANNOYED Daughter

I always liked the Greensboro News & Record. Living in High Point, we subscribed both to this paper…read moreand the local paper, the High Point Enterprise. I think we always preferred the News & Record over the Enterprise because it generally had better articles, but the Enterprise had better local coverage of High Point. The News & Record is the third largest daily newspaper in the state behind the Raleigh News & Observer (largest) and the Charlotte Observer (second largest). Growing up a Wake Forest men's basketball fan in the 90s, I particularly enjoyed the News & Record's coverage of Wake basketball during that time. Also, I liked the paper's coverage of ACC basketball in general and specifically, the special in-depth pieces they wrote during the weeks of the ACC Tournament. For those that don't know, the ACC (Atlantic Coast Conference) is headquartered in Greensboro and the tournament has been held at the Greensboro Coliseum 27 times since the conference was founded (1953-54 season). Did you know the News & Record used to sell internet service? Our first ISP (internet service provider) after AOL (America Online) was the News & Record's InfiNet service. It was dial-up internet and we connected using our 56 Kbps modem. My email address ended with @nr.infi.net, the "nr" standing for News & Record. I believe many newspapers sold internet service during this time. In general, I thought the service was good and reliable, though we'd get kicked off from time to time. InfiNet was our last dial-up ISP before we switched to cable internet (Time Warner Cable's Road Runner service, now Charter Spectrum). We never had any delivery issues with the News & Record that I can recall and we subscribed for decades.

Of course, it doesn't appeal to the far left liberals - they are content to read the daily paper which carries the Democratic Party's water and mirrors the propaganda emanating from the Washington regime. I never cease to marvel at the depth of coverage which this weekly paper provides - and the investigative reporting is on par with the best "big city" newspapers (that is, the few unbiased papers remaining). I look forward to every issue as do the increasing number of readers (just compare the Real Estate advertising in this paper vs. the daily rag). As I previously said, "Thank goodness for the Rhino".

Parker's News Stand was a High Point institution. I believe the newsstand first opened in 1945 and…read moreclosed circa 2010. It was your classic, old-school, city newsstand, stocked with papers from up and down the East Coast, as well as all sorts of books and magazines. My dad, who consumed many physical newspapers back in the day (Barron's, Wall Street Journal, etc.), was a regular at Parker's News. It was a small shop, popular among local residents and furniture market visitors alike. When my picture was published in the February 1995 issue of GamePro Magazine (issue #67), my dad went to Parker's that weekend and bought out their entire stock of that issue. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6yHKFFd5iY&t=294s I remember making a special visit to Parker's in the mid-to-late 90s for a News Talk 1230 WMFR cookbook signing. Morning show host (and our neighbor) Max Meeks and company were at Parker's selling and signing cookbooks. https://www.yelp.com/biz/radio-station-wmfr-high-point I remember one of the younger guys with the WMFR crew was reading a professional wrestling magazine from one of the nearby shelves. I was a wrestling fan too. In the late 80s/early 90s, I thought pro wrestling was real. How dare Ric Flair cheat with the "Macho Man" Randy Savage's wife, Miss Elizabeth, as shown in the April 1992 issue of WWF Magazine? John A. Nagy wrote an excellent piece on Parker's News, published October 21, 1994 in the Greensboro News & Record.

Available for pickup at more than 500 locations in the Raleigh Durham area, the circulation runs at around 200,000 according to the website. News, arts, music, food, events, this paper is plugged in to what's happening locally. I can't recall where I found my copy but I did manage to enjoy it. Interesting news about the area, specifically the "death-positivity movement" was an amusing read. And they have a crossword. That's awesome. Letters to the editor, classifieds, and a guide to the best of the Triangle. I'm a fan! [Review 12277 overall, 2061 of 2019.]

They're independent, sure, but that doesn't mean everything they report on involves hemp. I like the Independent because it's thoroughly useful. There really isn't a page in the thing that doesn't have some sort of relevant report on what's going on around me, particularly in regards to concerts and other entertainment. Any time I've said in another review to keep your eye on something, this is a good tool for doing just that, they're extremely well connected. The one exception to this are their reviews, which I often take issue with... Unless you have strong past experience to go on, don't trust their opinions on movies and shows, chances are you'll disagree.

Scuppernong Books is an independent bookstore in Downtown Greensboro. It is located inside a…read morebuilding built in 1898. The building served as a feed-and-seed store, a record store and a used-appliance store. The bookstore opened in 2013, and its extensive renovation preserved the exposed brick walls and the high pressed-tin ceilings. They added hand-carved bookcases. The walls are olive green, and the original windows let in plenty of natural light. The store was named after the scuppernong grape, the North Carolina state fruit. The store's "fox and grape" motif, visible on its signs and literature, is also a nod to Aesop's fables. The bookstore is cozy and welcoming, with areas to lounge and even a seating bar at the front of the store. The bookstore carries new and used books, with a good variety. You will find banned books and many about social justice. The store has stood up to censorship. The genres are clearly marked, and it is easy to browse and shop. They even have staff picks with reviews. I like that North Carolina authors are featured. The store partners with other local businesses. The cafe has coffees, teas, wines and craft beers. They have pastries from Loaf Bakery and Swedebread. The sandwiches are from Jerusalem Market. The specialty teas come from Vida Pour Tea. Service here is welcoming, helpful and low-pressure. They let you browse without following you around so you can take your time and explore. I highly recommend visiting Scuppernogg Books if you are looking for a local business to support or just like visiting old buildings. In the digital age, it is so nice to connect with others and actually browse the shelf to find my next read. I loved the banned books, as I am always curious as to what they don't want me reading.

Some books have been harder to find as of recent, but I knew Scuppernong would not let me down. I placed my order online, and they sent me an email when it was ready to pick up in store. I was kindly greeted at the front door, and had my book within a minute. I did take an extra few seconds to wander the rest of the store, as it is such a lovely space. The sense of peace and calm the store has to all who enters cannot go unnoticed. I left with my required book in hand, and a smile on my face.
