What’s old is new again…
Nov 18th, 2007 by Dave Olson
Alert readers may have noticed a new feature on the Friday Salem page called ‘Heard around town.’ It’s a collection place of sorts for the little bits of news, speculation and yes, humor that didn’t make it into the paper during the week.
Readers with a bit of a memory will think the column sounds a bit like the popular ‘Reporters’ notebook’ columns of years past.
They would be correct. We have come to regret getting rid of that column — at its best it was a fun read, with warmth, humor and the occasional wise-guy remark.
We’re glad it’s back, no matter the name.
