I am 35 years old and I have vivid memories of reading the newspaper at my house growing up. Everything from news, sports, entertainment and business was always covered and much more.

It's funny how I still remember specific headlines that today and in general would just be crazy to think of.

I would like reading Randy Sportak, George Johnson and Eric Duhatchuk doing the beat for the Flames and others for sports.

I would love seeing what the Flames players did in their off-season and how they came into camp after having either lost weight or added muscle depending on needs at the time.

I LOVED filling out the Sun's "You be the BOSS!" survey. Keep Him, Trade Him or Give him a RAISE!! That's still the options which is funny cause you can't change existing contracts for raises like you could before.

I still grab the paper every little while and I don't think you can replace it with an electronic addition but I do think the lack of local and national news is important. I would and still read a LOT of news in various publications, none of this FB and Twtitter garbage.

So many people just have such a lack of knowledge on important event's its scary.
