Chicago Sun-Times devotes entire front page to begging for a new owner

If you own a business and it fails the last thing remaining is the building and land.

 

According to Google Maps the Sun-Times is an office building known as the Apparel Center or River Point North.

The Sun-Times building was sold to a developer.

 

It's next to the Merchandize Mart, which at one time was owned by the Kennedy family.

 

I thought at one time the Tribune published a free tabloid throwaway that was handed out at El stops, etc, Ia my memory correct? Does the Trib still do that?

 

If the Tribune buys the Sun-Times I would guess the Sun-Times folks would move to the Tribune offices to save rent. And if there is not enough space lay-offs will ensue.

 

The Sun-Times finds a buyer. Good luck to them.

Best of luck, and hope they can make a go of it, at least for a little while.

Saw the Sun-Times on a recent visit. It was quite thin and national/international coverage consisted of the USA Today insert. But the sports columnist (Morrissey) and the Cubs and Sox beat reporters were good reads, and the paper also did a solid job of covering Illinois' budget brouhaha.
