In the annals of bad ideas...

We’re going to move The Evening Sun’s offices. In the last two decades, we’ve moved our editorial and advertising offices three times – from our own building on Hale Street to an upstairs suite at the Pennysaver on Lackawanna Ave. to our present home just across the parking lot. We’ve been here, the former home of Kelly Services, for about oh, I don’t know ... five years? Time for a change. I mean ... consolidation. Yeah, that’s it. We’re consolidating.

It’s not that we’ve outgrown our current space. In fact, times are tougher than they were five years ago and business isn’t as good as it once was. We put a lot of money into getting these offices up to par the last time we moved, but hey, we got five years out of it – what more do you want? Besides, most of the people involved in that decision are out of office. I mean left the company. The cost of moving and spiffing up our new offices? Heck, we’re just going to pass it off on to you by raising taxes. I mean subscription rates.

Yeah and even though I’ve pretty much made up my mind about moving, I’d like your input. You can all write letters and call in and tell me what a bad idea it is and then I’ll ... well, I’ll thank you for your comments and then go ahead and do what I want anyway.
