Neighborhood News is a Smash Hit!! The older sibling babysitting pro/con list was a highlight to be sure!

-Sept 2025

Sibling fights in issue 10 of Neighborhood News : 2 votes for yes. It teaches responsibility and conflict resolution. Also, as two older siblings, we think they should be paid for their babysitting work

-Sept 2025

Hi Nora and Charlotte. In response to your question about sibling babysitting in issue #10, In my opinion is that with great power comes great responsibility and older siblings should only watch their younger siblings if they're ready for great responsibility. Sincerely, Taxi Cat (via Taxi's person, Emily) PS: Thank you for sharing your hilarious comics!

I love the Neighborhood News! Today was my first time reading them and they are so cute and funny! I especially love the comics. Loopy gets Covid was really funny. I hope you guys keep up the good work and creativity!

-August 2025

Me and my mother walked here this morning before work and read the daily news. We both really enjoyed it and loved all the quizzes and comics. It gave us both a good giggle to wake up in the morning. Thank you!

Hello! I walked to Florin with my daughter this morning and after sitting down we found the Neighborhood News! Such a great add and something entertaining for me and my teen! We loved the quizzes and polls. We found out we both have fires superpowers! Hope you come out with more!

-July 2025

Hello!! I'm a frequent reader of the little news magazines (seen them at Cup O' Joe and Florin) and they make me smile and laugh every time with the creativity!! I'm a local artist and I adore seeing kids pursue passions like this. Also! My vote (my name is Charlotte, so I may be a little biased), is for big sis in the babysitting debacle. Lol, Nora still needs a little bit more freedom though!!😂

Hi, my friend and I are reading Neighborhood News at Global Gallery. The back to school edition is SO good. We love the expression of all the feelings and the art is so good. It's hilarious and relatable and impressive. We appreciate your work!

-June 2025

Hi, my name is Laura Grolla. I am an artist and writer having coffee at Stauf's. I just read issue 34 with Sheep on the cover. It was really funny and I loved it. I am taking the Lego issue to read later. You guys do a great job!

-March 2025

Hi!! I found "Neighborhood News" at Florin Coffee shop. I just wanted to tell you and the kids how much I enjoy it and to keep up the wonderful work!

-Dec 2024

Hey! I picked up Issue 26 of the Neighborhood News from Florin Coffee shop! Loved it! It was a great lunch time read!

The Choose your Adventure was a lot of fun - got a huge giggle out of Recess wee theory and read the poem with LOTS of emotion!

Thanks for sharing!

-Nov 2024

Hi! Just read the Neighborhood News, Issue 19. We loved it!! The perfect literature to sip with our coffee at Cup O' Joe. How often do you release issues? We'd love to be consistent readers!

-Nov 2024

Hi!! Our names are Tara and Larissa. We read your WHOLE Back 2 School neighborhood news and we LOVED it. We read it out loud to each other and played different parts the whole time. It was so funny (and morbid at times). Love your work! Have a great day!

Harrison, your poem, "Summer" is extrordinarily radiant. Your simple phrasing and word images creates the magical mood of summer. Each of your four verses has it's own distinct flavor.

The breeze The ice cream The water The sky

These are my favorite scoops of summer. Harrison, I enjoy your summer poem so much, I made an extra copy to carry throughout my summer season. By the way, there is another poet, C. C. Cummings who writes his name and poetry in lower case. Harrison, pursue your art of poetry. It is a talent worthy of your time and imagination!

Good morning! We just read the Oops All Lego issue of Neighborhood News and it was absolutely excellent. Such a good plot and SO funny.

Also, congratulations on your grant from the Greater Columbus Arts Council!! Grant writing isn't easy, and I wanted to congratulate everyone involved!!!

-Sept 2024

Hi there, I read Neighborhood News with my coffee at cup o joe!! You guys never fail to put a smile on my face! It's so nice to start my day with something fun

-Sept 2024

To whom it may concern, I'd like to order a magic lamp please :). Best paper in town!!!!

Thank you Neighborhood News!! I tried the leaf soaked in dirt and it wasn't very good, but I think it's because I got impatient and only soaked it for 2 hours instead of 3-4. Thank you for your work! you got a lot of strangers in line at Cup O Joe talking and laughing about how much we liked it.

Hey Neighborhood News! My wife and I were having a sad day but picked up the Valentine's day issue at Cup O Joe and all the activities and comics turned our day around. Thanks for being clever, creative, and HILARIOUS!

We love Neighborhood News!!

Hello! Just commenting thank you for the Neighborhood News. My cat Guinness particularly liked the diagram of where to pet her

Hi!! First, my answer to the easter poll is B. Easter Egg Hunt. though it was a tough call. Secondly, I just wanted to say, I love Neighborhood News!! It always brings a smile to my face after studying until my brain is mush at a coffee shop. Keep it up the great journalism. Appreciate y'all!!

Hi! I'm texting about the Neighborhood News. I just saw the February issue, and I look forward to reading this every month. It's so cute and well done!

Hi Neighborhood News crew! Just wanted to share how much joy your work brought this morning!!! We loved the rainboos most of all. Great work!! when does issue 38 come out?!

My girlfriend and I found the Neighborhood News at Cup O Joe this morning and loved it!! These kids are so creative and funny; it was a real treat to read over our coffee. We eagerly await the next edition:) We genuinely were laughing out loud at a lot of these jokes(401 K infused underwear will never not be funny)

When is the next issue of Neighborhood News coming out? We saw it at Starbucks and it was so fun to read!!

Hello, I just picked up a copy of Issue 31 of Neighborhood News and I just want to say I loved it! The amount of creativity that exists throughout every page was so heartwarming. It brought me so much joy to just be present and flip through the pages. I can't remember the last time I felt so calm. My favorite piece was the choose your own adventure passage. I went through all the different options and had a blast. Looking forward to reading the next issue!

Sept 5th

I love this newspaper I got at my local coffee shop in Worthington. May I ask how old you are that is that advanced to be able to create your own newsletter?

-Aug 29th

Stedman, I am clapping my hands for your action packed-comedic short story!!!

The "The Astroid Attack! " hits a home run out of the park.

The reviews covered a wide gamut of emotions, a mixed bag.

Let's start with Bob, an audience member, whose review was all about action. He enjoyed the scene when the asteroid killed all the people.

Darnell's review was more editorial. He suggested to introduce the asteroid strike at the end of the film. It creates more suspense.

As for Susan, her review is more insightful. She realizes she needs to find a new boyfriend. Romance had nothing to do with plot development.

The best review was Stedman's critique on the director. Fabulous, most amazing, a genius!

I may want to see the film, however, your story was a film writer's dream. Stedman, continue to write and pursue your dreams. Thank you

-Aug 20th

Just read neighborhood news issue 30 and I loved it! Really fun, great illustration, and fantastic cover. Keep up the good work.

-Aug 18th

Our weekend tradition of coffee and Neighborhood News! 3 year old Mya loves these! Thanks for all the hard work!

My, oh my, what a delightful, suspenseful and yummy story! "The Story of the Lemonade Stand". The main characters, Lemonade, Donut, and Bracelet were well developed and dramatic. Your story sets the stage with an ordinary lemonade stand. Main character, Lemonade worries whether anyone will come by and purchase a drink and other goodies. Of course, someone appears and the drama begins...

Great story Harrison, continue with your joy of writing!

-Lupe, July 24th

Hi Nora, I'm a journalist from the Los Angeles Times. I am visiting a friend in Ohio and came across your paper and I love it! Keep up the good work!

Would also like to say that we loved reading the Kitt Chronicles and had fun reading them out loud.

And the Loopy Gets Covid comic was truly inspired!

-July 13th

Hi Jacob,

Writing to compliment neighborhood news on your Fourth of July edition. Especially impressed with the robot basketball sports section.

Excellent work all around!

Hello Neighborhood News! We just read edition number 27 at Highline Coffee and it made our day! Precious! We especially enjoyed Mr. Squishy's Adventure :)

-June 25th

SO extra. Found you at the Highline coffee house one lazy Sunday morning in June and now it's on my list of regular reading material! When is edition 28 coming out and when you compile all your work for the publisher so you can be a NYT best seller!!!

Hi, My name's Anna. I just picked up a copy of the Neighborhood News at Highline Coffee :)) I just wanted to say how much I LOVE it! I've been peeking at a few issues the last few times I've been here, but I finally picked one up to read all the way through. It seriously made me laugh out loud, and I'm sitting here by myself haha. Anyway, wanted to let you know that I'm a big fan and look forward to reading more!!

Hi Jacob and team!

I was visiting my daughter in the Columbus area and picked up a copy of Issue 23 in a coffee shop one morning. I just wanted to write you and let you know how impressed I was with the professionalism and talent for being such youngsters! Each issue is so much work, I am certain, and you all are so devoted and creative to keep it going for so long! Kudos to you all and keep up the good work! Before you know it, you'll all be headed for journalism or illustrating success in the big world! Best always, R.C

-Apr 27th

I absolutely LOVE neighborhood news and was hoping to be a writer? I’m not so great at drawing and I’m only in third grade, but next year? After that?!?! I LOVE writing and drawing comics, and, as you can see, I’m okay at writing. Oh, by the way, you could interview me for neighborhood news, and my brother! I do live in the neighborhood, obv. But not in the middle, just the side of it.

Sorry-this was too long!

Hey Jacob!

My partner and I are visiting from out of town, and we frequent coffee shops from all over!

To the creators of Neighborhood News:

I am writing to you regarding your most recent issue (as far as I am aware), Issue 19. I picked it up at Highline Coffee and I was thrilled to see that this was much more interesting than the other newspapers available on the stand.

I have often thought to myself, "Why don't more newspapers feature colorful 3D hearts popping off of the front page?" And finally, my wish was fulfilled. Additionally, the front cover featured the most glorious fanged heart that I have ever seen.

As a super-fan of cephalopods (you should see my desk at work; it has a whole Octopus's Garden, I'm not kidding you), I have to say I adored Mr. Squishy. More than that, though, I was incredibly impressed by how convincingly 3D those bubble letters in the title were (and Mr. Squishy himself)--the application of simple lines made these really pop off the page (metaphorically), and I was transfixed. Though the evidence is stacked against Mr. Squishy in re: the TV robbery and so forth, I maintain that he is as innocent as they come, and I hope for future installments.

The Valentine's advice was absolutely excellent. I appreciated the important details advising me not to add TOO much pink and red, lest my guests' eyeballs die. You'd hate to see an eyeball death on V-Day, so I am glad you helped me avoid this terrible fate. Also, the color-coded love monitor was helpful for me to inform my spouse that he should stop calling me "Your Majesty" because that means he barely knows me. However, I will still be making him treat me as royalty and do all the chores, so I will have to come up for a better title for him to call me to express his love. Perhaps "Ruler of the Known Universe"? I must ponder.

As a non-poetic person myself, I sympathized with Clancy Snudgetti's woes (perhaps the most important of which is his excellently dreadful name), and also appreciated his wife's patience, but most importantly, appreciated the illustrator bringing in a well-timed curtain so we did not have to see them smooching too much. Excellent use of artistic censorship.

The Choose Your Own Adventure Comic was TRULY A WORK OF EXCELLENCE. The time that it must take to plan out each individual route and how the panels will be numbered? Impressive. The many plots themselves? Engaging. The artwork? I'm literally still laughing about panel 5, which I encountered on my first read-through (where I'm hiding in the cake display with my open mouth overflowing with illegally-obtained ice cream, and an angry muppet that is my boss is looking for me unsuccessfully). I simply had to reread the comic through until I got every possible ending. I am not exaggerating even a little bit when I think you have a future in the publishing business; all of my students (I am an elementary school librarian) would love to read this type of work, as do I.

And finally, my absolute favorite part of this issue (truly worthy of the back page): The ad for BUSINESS UNDERWEAR (401k infused). The very boring man walking into stores with his butt out is incredible, but every detail of this ad is absolutely phenomenal. I have long been a proponent of MeUndies but I might have to switch to BUSINESS UNDERWEAR if I can ever find it in stores. I am often told I am "too much fun" so I think this might help.

All in all, just a phenomenal publication, and I look forward to encountering many, many more issues as I wander about downtown Worthington. My highest compliments to all creators involved.

Best wishes,

C.K.

Neighborhood News: Showing our Love!

Hi! We are Worthington residents (Evening Street) and look forward to every new issue of Neighborhood News! We wanted to show our love and support. These kids are insanely talented and are doing seriously amazing things with these issues. We can't wait for the next one and although we don't have access to free color copies, we will keep our eyes peeled for ways that we may be able to help out in the future. Happy Monday!

Hi, I just finished reading Neighborhood News Issue 21, accompanying my iced coffee and chocolate cupcake. What an amazing article! I couldn't pick my favorite, was it Dorita, was it Sparkles ice cream poop?? I think it could be the love story between Skipper and Bevin.. that one I am still quite invested in. I hope to hear an update on their relationship... I'm wondering if the new American Girl doll will throw a wrench in their love for one another!! Thank you for brightening my day, and keeping me giggling all the way through. Hope to see the newest issue soon!

March 20th

Hey there! We picked up the Neighborhood News in Worthington today. Very cute. We would totally donate. Love the creativity!

Hi, just wanted to say I stopped in to Highline Coffee and loved reading the Neighborhood News! I especially love the little quizzes

-I'm a blueberry pie and a pepperoni pizza

Let the kids know that they're lighting up people's days and making the neighborhood better one drawing at a time:)

-Val Jan 30th

Hello! Just want to thank you for the Neighborhood News. I always look forward to reading it. The kids are so organized and creative to be able to pull it off! Do you stock it anywhere besides Highline?

-Feb 10th

Harrison, your once in a lifetime interview with Santa was sensational! You asked clever and thoughtful questions that all children and adults ponder about their favorite person. The words magical, and joy sprinkle throughout your interview. Thank you for the brilliant interview. It gave me joy!

Whoever wrote Johnny and Santa in issue 17 is genius

That's all I have to say. It is so perfect

Dec 28th

Hello! Casper (8yo) really enjoyed the Neighborhood News. Thanks for putting this work out there!

Dec 2nd

I think Loopy the Lemming (the customer) cut the cheese because the cleaning man is not smart enough to cut it since he took out his brain, and the boss is a bird and too small to pick up the knife.

The great Perplex-o is the "side kick". I'm assuming that means Watson

Neighborhood News is a HIT!

Hello! I work in the PCD at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. I picked up a copy of Neighborhood News at Highline Coffee and brought it into work to read on my lunch break and enjoyed it so much! I then shared it with several staff members and they loved it too! Neighborhood News gets high marks from our night shift crew! Thank you for the fantastic articles and illustrations and for making us smile!

KP: I REALLY ADORED the comic between lucille and her bestie. It was very spooky! I look forward to seeing new issues of the Neighborhood News at Highline Coffee shop. Thank you guys for expressing yourselves and being so RAD!

-Nov 1st

Nora, this text is for you. I enjoyed your Cayden story. It was cleverly written and kept me riveted to Cayden's character. You also brought out the strong relationship between Cayden and his father. Your description of the doll collector was extraordinary! He appears innocent and friendly; however, you develop the story plot and reveal a more sinister character. Excellent foreboding Nora, you carried me through the entire story line. You are an author of short stories. The ending was absolutely unexpected. You have the gift of suspense. A fan. Miss Lupe'.

-Oct 31st

Hey, We are enjoying the latest issue of Neighborhood News. Is this what Caroline is publishing? So good!

Hi, I wanted to share how much I like Neighborhood News! I just got my second issue from Highline Coffee and it's making my morning. My favorite parts of this publication are all of the colorful drawings and the interviews with kids. As an adult, I don't get to hear too many kids' opinions (besides my own kid), and it's so wonderful to read what kids have to say.

My name is Griffin, and I'm the white dog, and the black dog is my younger sister Agnes. I read your sibling fights article in Neighborhood News.

I agree with Charlotte that older siblings should be allowed to babysit younger siblings!

Agnes does not agree, but she is a dumb black lab who doesn't know anything.

This is an excellent newspaper. I particularly appreciated the recommendation of basketball and the thoughtful debate about whether homework should be illegal. Is there any way to pay for a subscription? (Please let them know there is demand for more!)

I enjoyed reading the DIY publication at Highline Coffee. I wish more people would share their creativity like this. Thanks for sharing it.

Oh, and my favorite color is yellow

My vote is for mascot=Bird, Color=Blue because it is calming (and my favorite color).

The paper reminds me of the things I created when I was that age. Thanks!
