Wish you were here —
Dear neighbor — Eleven years ago we started printing a little paper for the people who actually live here, not the ones passing through. Two editions every month — one for Citrus, one for Hernando — and never a nickel to read it. We've been on porches, in waiting rooms, and by the Winn-Dixie door ever since.
— Barbara Jean, Editor
One more thing. A Verified badge in our directory means exactly one thing: that business is in the printed paper. No paid stars, no listing farm. And if a listing's unclaimed, go anyway — tell them a local sent you.
