I've worked at the local newspaper for 39+ years. I've lived on East Douglas longer than anywhere else in my life. So it was sad news a few weeks ago when it was announced that we would soon be printing the paper in Kansas City. And selling our building. And moving to another location downtown. We'll begin this process in late May, though none of us know how soon the building will sell. I've seen a lot of changes in the newspaper industry over the years, so on to the next chapter. As much as a new, fun, cool building excites me, I'm going to miss the building that I grew up in. That supported me as a young adult, then a married adult, then a married adult with children. And now I have a daughter who works in the same building. Bittersweet times.
