The Other Williamsburg

am New York, a daily New York City paper (published on actual paper, not computer screens - i.e. not eco-friendly like The Yuba Post), had an interesting story a couple of weeks ago about Williamsburg, our neighboring village to the east. Why a New York City paper was doing a story on Northern Michigan is quite a mystery, but we thought we should bring the article to your attention due to Yuba's dangerous proximity to the actions being described. The story is so shocking, in fact, it made the cover of the issue, published on May 14h:


It appears that a disturbing trend has been gaining popularity amongst the normally good people of The Burg. In short, they've been forming bizarre, cult-like book clubs. This image from am New York's coverage was particularly shocking to our editors:


Not only are these Williamsburg women in a book club where they dress up and take pictures of themselves, but two of them are the mothers of Yuba Post staff members. Regular contributor Jeff Richardson and financial manager Nik Frank-Lehrer claim to have had no prior knowledge of their mother's actions. However, the editorial board of The Yuba Post has decided it is in the best interests of our publication, and of the town of Yuba, to part with the services of these two employees.

If you have any information about similar books clubs existing within Yuba territory, please contact The Yuba Post immediately.
