I have to admit, I was nervous when I opened my front door this morning. Like many of you, I am a subscriber to the paper. And while I usually know what it's going to look like in advance, I look forward to reading it every morning. So..the fact that the paper was there on time was a huge relief. It was also a testament to the abilities of the people who put it together.
So, today's paper: some readers have complained about a "washed out" or bleached look to the photos. I agree they aren't quite right. They certainly lack the eye-popping quality we have seen in the test runs we've done at Rockford. We'll spend today fine-tuning the process. In the days ahead, I think you'll be impressed.
The End of the Germania
I am waiting in my office for the demolition of the Germania. It's scheduled to happen sometime this morning - we haven't been told when yet. There is no activity outside right now. Our office is directly across the street from the collapsed building, so we've been warned that we could be hit by some fallout.
One key question: what happened to the stray cat that lived in the building? You've seen him - or her - in our newspaper from time-to-time. We'd like to think he survived. If there's a sighting, I'll let you know.
In honor of our fallen Germania bulding, here are some links to Germania Clubs around the country:
Germania Club Downriver of Brownstown, Michigan
Germania Club of Evansville, Indiana
Thanks for reading!
