Can't find the other thread, for some reason.
Started reading the new July/August edition this morning over breakfast. Even just a few pages in, this edition is the best County Highway yet. Just better content. The circulation is growing. Got an email from them claiming 10,000 subscribers. Not surprised. Looking for yet more improvement.
Bottom line: the paper is now worth subscribing to. $50/year for six issues isn't that bad, at $8.50 an issue. That's a six-pack of beer, or a drink in a bar, or couple of coffees.
