It'll be interesting to see how much advertising the Times and Stranger pick up then. Love the name of the Seattle Stranger. Don't think we've ever had any Strangers in New Zealand. A few Chronicles, several Times, a couple of Heralds certainly, but no strangers. Thanks Mark. It’ll be interesting to see how much advertising the Times and Stranger pick up then.

Possibly San Francisco (but then, since the Chron is so bad already, its basically already a zero newspaper town....)
