Too Bad. Don't know or care about their political leanings. I come from a generation (maybe one of the last) who like the idea of a newspaper. I remember reading the funnies, grabbing the sports section, puzzling over the political cartoon. It's a sign of the times, but I will miss those old gasbag liberal rags.

I was born and raised in Toledo- moved to Michigan 30 years ago for husband’s job. It was a wonderful place to live and grow up back in my day. It was a strong Union-Democratic City with Champion Spark Plug, Dana, Jeep plants.

The big paper forever in Toledo is the Toledo Blade- which is the competitor for Toledo Free Press. Toledo Blade tended to be left leaning/Democrat swinging.

But it has gone the way of other Democratic run towns- poverty stricken, all the major plants closed down, unemployment, lot of gangs. Most of the once beautiful Malls have been closed or torn down. Only one remains.

I cold just cry when I got back for family events- everything is just so run-down.

I still get the Harrisonburg (VA) Daily News Record sent out to me via a subscription every year from my Grandmother.

The office loves the crossword and it’s a hoot to compare the content with CA news. Never seen a help wanted ad for a tom turkey milker in the Chronicle either ;-)
