The first issue of our new community newspaper for Southwest Roanoke County comes out today.

* If you’re a subscriber to The Roanoke Times and live in zip codes 24018 or 24059, you’ll find SWoCo included in your regular newspaper delivery each Friday.

* If you’re not a subscriber, but still live in those areas, you’ll get SWoCo mailed to you each week as part of the Simply Savings advertising flier you now receive. For most of you, that generally means it will arrive on Friday or Saturday, depending on postal delivery. If that uncertainty sounds like a reason to subscribe, our circulation department will be happy to help you.

* In addition, we have free copies of SWoCo available at these locations:

-- Kroger, 3815 Brambleton Avenue
-- Kroger, 4404 Brambleton Avenue
-- Kroger, 4488 Electric Road
-- Mill Mountain Coffee & Tea, 4710-A Starkey Road

And, for a limited time only, we also have special promotional copies available at these locations in and around Southwest Roanoke County.
