For Queens, by Queensters, to Queensters!…read more The Queens Gazette is a weekly local community newspaper published specifically geared to the borough of Queens. I rate it four stars as local community newspapers as Queens Gazette is hard to local in small communities as Hollis Hills, Richmond Hill, or Ozone Park but residents need to flock to larger populated communities within Queens as Flushing, Forest Hills to obtain a copy of the Gazette. The Queens Gazette often announces events as the Saint Patrick's Day parade in Flushing and in The Rockaways. Queens, home to the 1964 and 1965 New York World's Fair, two airports, and Aqueduct Racetrack!

Do not associate this book store with NY Flushing based Chinese newspaper "World Journal" as they bear no connection.

They do not have a business card and only speak Mandarin, who cannot resonate basic English. This book store certainly do NOT offer the world in any journal format!!

We have a camera outside so we can confirm that the paper was not delivered inside our fence the days it was missing. Personally I think the driver just toss the paper out his window since I saw on the camera that on a few occasions the paper was kicked under our gate. When we call the paper a angry lady usually tell us that our gate is locked (we don't have a lock mechanism on the gate) and that's why he don't deliver the paper when the truth is that he just toss it out his window. I don't understand why the paper think they do us a huge favor deliver? They pay the delivery driver and we pay the paper so nothing is free and should not be treated as a favor.

USA today was good at giving info on what's going on across the country and international as well. I really enjoyed the sports section and it had all the major sports covered . As time went on and more access to news via other outlets especially the internet , online and smartphones , etc, the need for USA today went away gradually. A few days ago I was in a nostalgia mood and notice a bunch of USA today papers along with the other daily newspapers and grabbed one for the memories. Glad I did ,it reminded me of my daily morning routine when I worked in Brooklyn many years ago . I will try to make it a habit to grab one copy at least once a week , Especially on Friday .Happy you are still around USA Today .

AP produces news reports that are distributed to its members, U.S. newspapers and broadcasters. Since the award was established in 1917, the AP has earned 56 Pulitzer Prizes, including 34 for photography. Naturally I'm a fan of the photography.

I always admire The Associated Press (AP), an American not-for-profit news agency for its extensive long history founded in 1846 and numerous Pulitzer Prizes won for outstanding journalism achievement and breaking news photography. The AP keeps me well informed, well read and acutely aware of world news and events. There is no fee to access their news articles from the email links. I highly admire the "This Week in Pictures" emails which "highlights some of the most compelling images of North America, Asia and the Pacific, Latin America, Europe, Africa." Four stars for The Associated Press (AP) because the emails are plastered with too many annoying ads.

It is cool to have a free paper that will entertain you for more than 5 minutes. It just keeps you in the know of what is going on. Ads in there also for places like Barcade, tell of upcoming events East/West beer ngiht and so on. I was actually revising and looking over that very issue again earlier today. (Jan5-18, cover had a story of 48 hours with a certain rock star). That title in itself makes it blog worthy and worth an actual look at the article which was very interesting. One guy actually talked about his waking up in the morning routines of eating cinnabons then alot of other healthy crap like squash, broccoli, beats, and kale but then use of some kinds of drugs. Ironic in that he seemed like a health nut with the food he actually consumed but used drugs and abused alcohol left and right. The bar and restaurant directory in the back makes alot of Brooklyn bars seem very appealing. I have also seen a few spots in there of places us yelp eliters got to sample at one point or another like Nita Nita and Woodwork. Thanks for the Reco's guys. Oh yeah then there is a sex with the natural redhead section on the back page, it is usually very funny stuff that explicitly involves penetration and sexual operations. Some more inappropriate than others. Overall- Yes, thank god it is free, I check out your magazine and now I need to look for the latest issue.
