Did you miss yesterday's paper? That's good news for us! Because an earlier version of this story said that the fuel spill cost $35 million instead of $3.5 million. Embarrassing, but at least we fixed it within 14 years.

I did a practice ride out to the Cole Harbour Heritage Park parking lot to assess whether I’d be able to do the @grandparade.bsky.social book club ride and I’m now optimistic about both that and being able to make it up to forest hills for shopping or to hit the library.

The Dutch doing this in fuckin Dallas, Texas is very funny to me, an American who has seen Cowboys fans who represent one of the most valuable sports teams on earth never approach this level of enthusiasm this century.

Just a heads up that Grand Parade (the podcast) will publish on Monday but Grand Parade (the paper) will publish on Tuesday this week due to Victoria Day. We apologize for the convenience.

There's a new paper out tomorrow at Atlantic New & @kingsbookstore.bsky.social! On the front a story by @katynotie.bsky.social about a bank robbery, police reform and how things are the same 100 years later. On the back @landofsticks.bsky.social has a story about land use that got the note below

I love getting copy edits that say "insane comparison but more importantly what if you said..."

I am going to have to update my bio because after June 20th, thanks to the two greatest words in the English language, I will be an award-winning journalist.

Happy to share that the Grand Parade podcast has been nominated for an Atlantic Journalism Award in the podcast category. And it is the only nominee, so... congrats to host @landofsticks.bsky.social?

Happy belated World Press Freedom Day! Even though we need our press to be free, journalism itself isn't free to make. Journalists tend to want things like "wages" just so that they can "eat food" and "pay rent." Please consider becoming a paid subscriber of www.grandparade.news today!

New paper out tomorrow! On the front the last from our intern about fire. Are there more of them these days? Is it your imagination? On the back, @landofsticks.bsky.social has a story about @lecwhite.bsky.social trying to make walking safer. And one about budget season. Which is back. Already.

I have returned from my unwilling hiatus. And in style! Jenna McConnell is a great person to write with, especially in this year of shared bylines. Here’s a picture of what our story is about.

So just an update here it looks like Ghost's podcast integration is an additional cost and one that will run the paper about $490 USD a year based on listenership. So until I find a cheaper workaround or get a rash of new subscriptions, the early access to the podcast will be MIA for a bit.

The migration to Ghost should now be complete. The last step was some subscription backend stuff which on our end appears to have gone off without a hitch. But if you start having any issues with your subscription, please reach out! The new podcast RSS feed will come Soon™
