Our online-only version of the dear old “local paper” has a smaller, more humble ambition. We hope to provide current events, local interviews, public service announcements, summaries of City government meetings and plans, and social or commercial opportunities for local residents and people who visit Martindale. We saw people needed a way to find out what’s happening in town and decided to give the people what they want!
