Take note Pulitzer committee!

Locals often criticize the daily The Post-Star for everything from shallow journalism, to bias (liberal, conservative and corporate) to editorial choices (what appears in the paper and where) to an apparent lack of copy editors.

But they can also provide some fascinating insight into issues that you never would've expected.

For example, did you know that when shopping decreases, employment drops too?!

Seriously!

Groundbreaking journalism at its finest.

I also hear that outdoor farmers' markets do worse in the winter. I pose this hypothesis: The more snow on the ground and the more the temperature falls, the fewer people want to shop at outdoor markets.

Another one ... the sales of flip- flops, sandals and swim wear tends to nose dive right as the school season starts. ;-)
