Big Bend Sentinel on-line status?
« on: February 02, 2008, 07:58:23 PM »
Is the Big Bend Sentinel in Marfa no longer posting anything to their web site (below)?

http://www.marfatx.com/bb_index.asp

The latest material I see at the site is from the Sentinel's 20 December 2007 edition.

Sentinel will publish
again on January 10

but it didn't say what year.

At one time, they blocked all online content except to subscribers, then they backed off of that.  Maybe they are rethinking that?
