Niagara At Large Will Be Dispatching From A Finger In The Atlantic Ocean Over The Next Week

From Niagara At Large publisher Doug Draper

There is this fragile finger of sand curling out into the Atlantic Ocean off Massachusetts that my family migrates to each late November for a gathering of close friends for American Thanksgiving.

The Old Sea Pines Inn on Cape Cod will be Niagara At Large’s point of dispatch for the next week. We will be back in Niagara with a journalistic vengeance by the end of the month. Something has to be done to make up for the gutting of chain newspapers here.

That is where this publisher will be by Sunday evening and for the next seven or eight days, yet I want you to know that we will continue filing dispatches for Niagara At Large from there. There are issues I’ve covered in recent days and weeks I have yet to comment on, and there are some posts on issues contributed to some of our many supporters.

No doubt, we will be on slow speed during this period because I have to take a bit of time off to walk on a beautiful ocean beach every once in a while. We all do, and I am just thankful that in spite of some tough economic and family challenges over the past 12 months, that I still can. 

So there you go. The dispatches will come from a more than century old place – once a private Sea Pines School and now the Old Sea Pines in on a wonderful New England road in Brewster, Massachusetts. It is not only a time for rest but a time to find some common ground with our American neighbours . We don’t always agree with them, but at the end of the day, they are among the best friends in any other country in this world that we have.

I will catch you and your continued comments and contributions to Niagara At Large while there, and will return with a plan to ramp up NAL as a more dominate alternative and independent news site for this region at a time when the chains continue gutting newsrooms at the daily and weekly papers they dominated here.
