I want to let everyone know the support the community has shown our paper. It has been a blessing receiving emails and texts this past couple of weeks. The outpouring is more than encouraging. Thanks! Papa Deau
“Yes, I read it each month! I make a point to pick up multiples at Ferguson Library or Schnucks each month. I live in U City and my mom is now in skilled nursing and we both want to keep up with the local news. I like the new columnists but miss Bob McCarthy’s info on old houses. Keep the Merferd toons coming. Thank you for all your efforts!”
“As an out-of-state transplant who arrived in Ferguson in the middle of the pandemic in 2020, it is one of the main resources I’ve used to learn about this community. I hope you will be able to continue publishing it in some fashion going forward.”
“First and foremost I would like to thank you for providing the Ferguson Neighborhood News for the past two plus years presenting the good side of Ferguson as stated! Your effort and dedication to report news not subjected to main stream and social media influence is very much appreciated. I hope you get the additional community support needed to keep the publication of this news paper active.”
“We need this paper to let everyone know we are a great community to live in and we do have businesses and stores that are here. Be proud of Ferguson and lets support our town.”
“Yes!! I always read this, love it. Several months ago I sent a copy to my sister-in-law who lives in Oregon, but grew up in Ferguson. She was so impressed with it that she took it to her local newspaper office. Told them this is what they should be doing.”
“I am an avid reader and look forward to every edition. I love the mix of the slice of life from Marion Linck or the new history I learn from the history museum and everything in between. Also farm girl is another favorite of mine. The newspaper has also kept me informed of the great local offerings, which are not readily available to note anywhere else that I can see (online or elsewhere). I have also used the newspaper for local referrals like when I needed a mechanic.”
“I love the Ferguson News. I skim it when it arrives and keep it handy for reference throughout the month.”
I appreciate and admire the team that puts out this paper. Having a community newspaper is a cohesive force for our area. and losing it would be one more setback for Ferguson (et al). We need more communal activities like this and the city hopefully understands that its loss would put us in the mix of North County suburbs which lack tools to engage their residents.
