As I recall and a google archived page proved, the logo used to live in the blank space at the top, between the fancy font name and the little weather icon.

Anyone else find this strange?

Very strange they would bail on the P-I without having gotten their hands on the Times first.

Then again they very likely know more about the Times' financial condition than anyone other than the Blethen family.

So then the Times would have the same amount of advertising, lower production costs, circulation costs remain fairly constant (since drivers already deliver both papers) -- and all the revenue. Of course, that shrinking revenue is still problematic, but it's a rosier picture than the current one.

If Frankie got out of great grandpa's biz, who would Kemper Freeman have to share mutual rimjobs with? What would Frankie's idiot children do? I suppose there's some sort of trust for them..., but Kemper would be royally screwed. Who else would want to rim that smelly old hole?

And what about all the cheesy photojournalists? Who would publish their signature photos of sad looking people with other sad looking people in soft focus in the background?

It's a sad night at the bar at the Rainier Club for sure....

One can never get enough of Connelly's stories of hiking on Washington's majestic trails. Although truth be told, I think its been more trail mix than trails.

He'd better hurry too. I suspect there's not alot of air left in Crosscut's tanks either!

In any case, we're going to lose a lot of great reporters in this town soon, which sucks.

Stroke your beat patches on this, Strangerites: What if the New Times bought the Stranger? All cloak 'n' dagger style. You find out Monday morning. The air in your cramped offices? Fouled (more so than usual). The what-next panic sets in. The imposter syndrome takes over. You look at your co-workers with new eyes - not as FRIENDS but COMPETITION.

Have fun.

yur, saying it's a whole different batch of crazies that will migrate here to our little OZ, this can't happen, think about the draperies....

lets get up in arms, against these usurpers of bandwitdh.

though, in a sense, you are right the sound off and the new times comments are pretty fucking 2nd grade

though thats kinda like the mote in the eye, yadda...

but besides....
think about what the gays are doing to our soil....
