Reader Comments on The Old Volumes of Yankee Magazine from YankeeMagazine.com http://www.yankeemagazine.com/rss/index.php Sat, 21 Nov 2009 23:48:11 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/blogs/newengland/volumes For all of us who work at Yankee Publishing, a short research assignment in the Yankee archives can turn into an enormous time sink. I am often struck, as I page through the old volumes of Yankee, how a "new" idea we are considering has been done -- and well -- in the past. Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Mon, 02 Mar 2009 21:40:51 +0100 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/blogs/newengland/volumes Well I have some of those back issues (mostly Sept & Oct issues) and I have to say I enjoy going back over them when I find the time in my busy techno life. I just got my Mar/April Yankee and if the folks missed it, they should run do not walk to your local news stand and get a copy. I usually read one or maybe two stories but this issue had bunches of stories that made me want to slow down and read them. Any who... This was one of the best issues and I read it all the way through. The article on Vermont reclaiming their old back roads or unknown roads that haven't been roads for several years (like a hundred + yrs) was very interesting to me. I don't know whether or not Vt towns will be able to benefit from this but it could mean some new pathways for us in the fall to travel... (if not all yr long) I mean could you imagine a walking tour where the guide walks you through the old home steads where now there may only be a portion of an old stone wall or some cellar walls. And at the same time you get to spend time out in the woods and see old stands of fall foliage trees... It might be a good tourism boost... What do all of you think?

It has always been a magazine to spend time on, curl up with, and get to know. I am always pulling down old issues and re-reading them with renewed interest. After all, I have changed and (I hope) grown since the previous reading. Some favorites have been read 20-30 times! Have, over the years, tried to acquire them all. The most difficult to find are 1935 and 1951-1952. Thanks people for a wonderful and classic publication.

I've dreamed of living in vermont ever since I was little even though I've never been; my favorite school librarian moved away to Weathersfield, VT when I was a child and sent me a postcard, and ever since, I have felt that my heart belongs to a place I've never set foot in. I am looking forward to keeping up with your blog...please know how fortunate you are to live in such a beautiful corner of the world!
