I am happy to report that organizers of this years Free Pass Fest did an excellent job of cleaning up after their concerts/party along elanor tinsley park on allen parkway.
It’s frustrating that all the Galveston news requires an online subscription to the paper. I thought,well,I’ll just get an online subscription. But,no, at 14 bucks per month, or $168 for year, it’s just too much for the occasional real estate news. Maybe I am being cheap.
That’s something I think Swamplot should think about, paywall (although bypassable with some effort) creates a lesser quality reading experience, and by directing Swamplot readers to an article to another site, it promotes posting of comments on THAT site, lowering overall traffic here.
Paywalls should only be used for quality stories. And I doubt two paragraphs in the GDN about a new Best Western qualifies under that definition.
City Resetting 800 Lights in Downtown!!!
This should read “Mayor Parker is a Failure”!
