Its starting to sink in...
I was there for the last transition. Being sold to a chain. Moving out of downtown (before it was hip) and moving down to the airport in a corporate business park! No dogs allowed to roam the halls. But the soul survived while the body changed. That may not be the case this time. I'm comforted by the fact that the TW's beginnings were incredibly humble and financed by caring individuals who were there when things really got tough (and infused more $$ to keep the lights on). The soul of a publication is really about the people who put it together. It can happen again. Advertisers willing. Have everyone reapply for their jobs? Seriously? You're gonna have Nintz and Danehy and the gang reapply? Have the locks and passwords changed yet? I loved my time freelancing for the TW. I now have that same sinking feeling I had when the paper got sold to Wick. An era has passed.
Plaza Hotel and Conference Center?? Janos Restaurant and Jbar on Sunrise?? Holy time warp Batman! The 1990's are coming back!!! Where do you get these interns from?? Seriously guys...just give the paper back to Biggers and let the dogs walk the halls.
