  • Discontinuing Print

    On my weekly trip to the Ridgedale Library this past week, I noticed
    that The Rake stand had been moved from its usual location, then found
    it on the first floor. After conversing with a friendly (yes, your
    readers are very pleasant people) fellow reader, I found out that this
    would be your LAST PUBLICATION! Ouch!! Since television is so
    "polluted" with misinformation and silly, brain-dead entertainment, I do
    not watch it; so this was the first time I heard you were going to end
    this wonderful source of information and amusement. PLEASE reconsider
    and find another option. Although I am online everyday (part of my
    income), my lower back can take only ten hours a day sitting in one
    position, so I enjoy reading your magazine while taking a break or
    just going for a walk and having a relaxing read. Many of
    your readers are not online and never will be — these people will
    be completely cut off. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE consider other options.
    Anyone reading this, I ask you to also voice your option.

  • Closed Down

    I thought I heard, via MPR, that The Rake is closing it’s doors. Too bad! Thanks for all the great stories and your sense of humor. I’ll be watching for the next venue [which you’re looking at online].
