About a year ago, the RFT announced it was planning to move from the Loop to the CWE on West Pine. Did that fall through? Haven't heard anything about it lately.

Maybe the next incarnation of the Riverfront Times will learn that nobody cares about demeaning the Loop Trolley when it's your 200th article on the matter.

Aw man where am I going to get my scathing KDHX coverage?

KDHX bought it and fired everybody, didn't they?!

^So what you're saying is that someone with a small fortune to invest could start a media empire on the cheap right now just by hiring the folks laid off from RFT and the volunteers kicked out of KDHX? Anyone got a few million lying around spare?

The trolley hate became performative, a misallocated effort, and boring.

So spend $5 million so you can get $1.5 million back in taxes? Doesn't seem too smart.

Probably going to be revived as an AI content mill. Very sad.
