What an issue looks like

A typical issue is three minutes: what’s newly opened (and whether it’s worth the line), what’s happening around town in the next couple of weeks, and one or two picks we’d actually spend a Saturday on. When there’s nothing worth your inbox, we don’t send — the quickest way to ruin a local newsletter is to publish on a schedule instead of when there’s news.

Everything in the newsletter follows the same rules as the site: locally owned businesses, checked by people who live here, no paid placements dressed up as recommendations. It’s the site, distilled — for people who’d rather Franklin came to them.
