Headlines to make you smile...
From the Laconia Citizen today, Dec. 29th, here is a headline about Baltimore Ravens making the NFL playoffs. Ya gotta love auto-correct / auto-spell.
http://thecitizen.villagesoup.com/p/baltimore-clinches-postseason-birth/1285519 How many people looked at this before it went to press???? Hope this starts a Happy New Year for all.

Happens a lot
If you read the Citizen often you will notice multiple errors in almost every edition.
In past years in a story about the fire at the condos on Alton Bay the report called them "18,000 Sq. Ft. condos". I didn't think they were quite that big. In a motorcycle accident story the report called the motorcycle a Honda at one point, and a Harley at another point. I emailed them and pointed out the error and the reply from the Citizen was that it was a Honda dressed to look like a Harley. I enjoy reading the Laconia Sun online and stopped reading the Laconia Citizen when they started charging for it. I didn't think it was worth paying for. |

I don't pay, but there are some stories you can read in full, some you can't. I also enjoy reading the LDS, although maybe not so many of the letters to the editor.
