At one time the SW Journal was a comfortable community newspaper highlighting the happenings and events in SW Mpls. Over the past few years this paper has broadened its reach to a point where is really is no longer a SW Mpls newspaper. A significant number of the articles (especially lead stories) have nothing to do with SW Minneapolis. And, an exceptional amount of the display ads are for businesses outside of SW Mpls. And, for whatever reason, the SW Journal has some bee in their bonnet and appears to want to lambaste the Minneapolis Park system that works very hard, with a minimal budget, to provide services to our residents. Every time a read a SW Journal I wonder how we could get the Sun Current Newspapers to offer a replacement paper. Their newspaper is much more community oriented, and filled with "happy news". For hard news I look to the "real" NEWSpapers. The SW Journal needs to decide if they want to be a SW Mpls newspaper, or the Skyway News. They most certainly, in my opinion (and I hear the same from others) no longer represent SW Mpls.
