I love the content, the format, and the length. Perfect for enjoying during my morning coffee. I especially like the mix of important local news, personal interest, and entertainment.

James brings us up to date information important to our community. I enjoy the content he offers in Old City Lowdown. I also appreciate that he takes the time to bring us breaking information that is important to publish in between regular issues. Thank you James for your hard work to keep us informed!!!💖

I look forward to each morning the Old City Lowdown is sent out. I love reading quick bits about news stories that actually matter to our community and learning about all of the fun things going on around town.
