I received a pretty special birthday present this morning: Above the Fold is ranked No. 18 in Substack’s Rising in News category.
But this milestone belongs to you.
Your paid subscriptions give me the time and resources to dig into Key West City Hall, the Monroe County Commission and the other issues affecting residents throughout the Florida Keys.
Because of you, this one-person newsroom is now sharing a national ranking with The Economist, Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Seymour Hersh, former MSNBC legal analyst Katie Phang, Aaron Parnas and The Daily Beast. Above the Fold is currently ahead of award-winning Miami Herald investigative journalist Julie K. Brown who broke the Jeffery Epstein story and Jim Acosta of The Jim Acosta Show.
That is extraordinary company — and I could not have gotten there without you.
People on the mainland care about our Island City like you do. And it shows.
Thank you for subscribing, reading, commenting, sharing the reporting and believing that independent local journalism still matters.
If you would like to share Above the Fold with someone else, you have 12 more hours to give a one-year gift subscription for $57 through the $57 for 57 birthday special.
But most of all, thank you.
You put Above the Fold at No. 18 — and we’re just getting started.

It shows as paid in the system as I emailed and it shows she has been opening emails… says it was bought as a group subscription on the screenshot I sent you.
Thank you and thank you for being a subscriber!
