I’ve been plagued for several days with the sensation that something is missing. There seems to be a hollowness or gap somehow. Then I realize that I’m missing the Chronicle.

And yeah, we “concerned citizens” are going to have to get used to going to those meetings ourselves if we want to know.

I have loved your articles and will miss the Chronicle very much. They allowed me to feel a part of my community without making the effort to actually attend meetings. As discussed in this week’s On The Media, public reporting of civic meetings is extremely important and is being lost in more and more communities. You did a superb job of it and I developed respect and appreciation for several people serving our community of whom I had previously been unaware. I liken it to following the home sports team.
Thank you so much for your excellent effort and dedication to giving us the experience of great reporting. I hope I can help you to find a way to continue this community’s experience of civic engagement.

I’m going to miss you. Living half of the year in Paris, I enjoyed and appreciated being able to keep up with what was happening on my Other Home, Ann Arbor.
I wish you well. You’ve done a great job!

As a staffer at a public agency, I have often sorted through the myriad public records to decide which best offers the “facts”, in order to refer interested citizens. More often than any other source, I chose the Ann Arbor Chronicle. I will miss that.

re: 13 – There is a stopwatch sticker? Nobody told me. I want one.
