Subject: fingers crossed we might get back a "Chicagoist"
Yeah, blockclubchicago.org has been doing a pretty
good job, but, well, Chicagoist...
(although it would probably follow the trend of
the revamped Gothamist, LAist, and SFist and
wind up more structured. Can't have everything)
And keeping a classic print media publication, maybe, too..
"Private-equity specialist Michael Sacks, a lead investor in the
Sun-Times, supports the sale. The combined entity also has the backing of
the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and the Pritzker
Traubert Foundation."
