My subscription os for digital and Sunday paper delivery. I received the first Sunday delivery, but went out this morning and no Sunday paper. My neighbor has his. No idea why mine did not come. Canceling my subscription today.

This is clearly the worst paper in America. Ownership should hire someone who actually cares about the city instead of downing it, and allowing her hires to also down the city…hire people from here, whom grew up here and care about it.
