There's something charming about a newspaper that uses an exclamation point in their name:
The Boomerang!

Good link.

I like this muchly, even though it doesn't seem to include what I consider to be the single best-named small-town newspaper I've ever encountered: The Ord Quiz, of Ord, Nebraska.

This is really neat, but they appear to still be working on the site, as there is a "justin_test" membership and the free premium membership lasts until 2051.
