As far as I can tell, the RoxReview.com web site has not been updated in weeks. What up with that?

Do you actually check this out on a regular basis or did you happen to stop by? I'm curious because the Review is such a small paper, I didn't know anyone who read it online...

I read the print edition thoroughly each week, but have generally found the website to be a poorly maintained mess that is a waste of time visiting.

I've tried to use it to get stories on-line. I think it worked once or twice. I think their web site has gotten worse over the last few years, if that's possible. :what_is_:

The review site needs a message board and the paper has been weak with its writing. Back in the day the review was a good read.

I remember the day that I thought the Review needed some tweaking... Rox Man Bank had been robbed at gunpoint - and the teller refused to give up the money - and yet the front page story was about the largest tomato grown in the area. Yep. Some priorities need changing!

I do love reading the Police Log section - it reads like a small town neighborhood watch - I don't think you'd get better copy in Belefonte or Mount Union, PA!

The police log used to post the people's names. I used to keep tabs on the people I knew.

You probably have one of those police radio scanners too, right?

Seriously, though, that is not a good sign when half the residents in a neighborhood only read their local paper to see the police beat...
