Questions. We love ‘em. When somebody has a question for us here at Paper Shop, we know that they’re either already advertising with us or thinking of giving us a try. We’re happy to help with and all inquiries, and we’ve found that a number of them are, well, frequently asked questions. Here’s where we take…
Post-holiday blues got you down? Well, we’ve got something to cheer you *ahem* up. On January 7, 1785, Frenchman Jean-Pierre Blanchard and American John Jeffries were the first to cross the English channel in a gas balloon. At the time, hot air balloons were the only way to fly … literally! The inaugural manned balloon flight had occurred…
We’ve been busy here getting back into the swing of things. Most importantly, you’ll find our first issue of 2014 on stands now (having trouble finding a vendor where you live? Give us a call). And, a little more sadly, we’re back to our non-holiday lives. The silver lining, however, is this: we’ve completely resumed…

Lackawanna Trail Friends of Rachel held a lantern release after the annual band concert on Monday night December 16. You could buy a lantern and attach your wish, hope, or dreams for 2014 the release them into the cool night. Alyssa Walker releases her lantern at Friends of Rachel “Be the Light Night” held…
Remember Waldo? Sure, it was fun to hunt him down in the crowd. Sometimes a challenge is fun. But sometimes? It’s as frustrating as can be. While we’re very proud of our website and we’re delighted to make every single ad available for free, we understand that some folks like to get themselves a hard…
With our weekly deadline, we’re all about the countdowns here. So we’d like to think we’re rather well-rehearsed for the biggest deadline of the year: midnight on December 31. While it’s an exciting time no matter where you are, the most famous of New Year’s Eve parties is, of course, in the Big Apple. And…
