The holiday ad season was pretty good for the SeaTimes. Relatively speaking. The Black Friday edition was weighted down with some five pounds of circulars. Ad space within the paper itself also grew, to at least 10 pages most days before Christmas.
Then the season ended. Tuesday’s paper was back to 26 pages, and with only five local news stories.
The paper’s remaining staff is moving over the inter-holiday week into the ex-furniture warehouse next to 13 Coins, out of its 81-year-old Fairview Avenue HQ. With this relocation, the SeaTimes‘ longtime nickname of “Fairview Fannie” becomes a misnomer.
My suggested replacement: “The Bore on Boren.”
