Progress-Index

I chose my RSS feed (among the many others that I already get) to be that of the Progress-Index. It is a small newspaper for the City of Petersburg. I was a police officer there for 5 years, and although they do provide many national news updates, they also have local news involving a lot of people that I know and care about. I also wanted to select one that would not be so readily used by everyone else in the class. Another pull for me, with this RSS feed, is that the area is rich with history from the Revolutionary and Civil War eras, and they tend to post significant dates, battles, artifact discoveries and other such historical information.

I love this idea! I have to tell you, I never thought about subscribing to the local newspaper feed from where I went to high school (Dunoon, Scotland). I did a quick Google search, and sure enough, the local paper has an RSS feed - and a webcam (http://www.dunoon.tv)!
