Not to pull rank, but it's objectively the case -- it was statistically a fact -- that at least during my childhood no newspaper meant more to its city than The Post did to D.C. It is impossible to think there does not remain long-term value in covering non-national news of interest to its readers.

The snow in New York is just amazingly foul at this point. It works like those black lights that reveal that all your surfaces are actually covered in disgusting bodily fluids. Practicing the willful blindness necessary to living here is getting to be impossible...

Worth noting that one reason you’re benefitting so fully from the Star-Tribune’s timely, extensive coverage of unfolding events is that it’s a metro newspaper that hasn’t been systematically starved to further enrich shareholders and executives.

Not on the beat anymore, but there's a real Burkean lament to be written about Notre Dame foregoing a bowl after missing the playoffs. "Notre Dame" is basically a creation of the Rose Bowl, as so much in the imagined community of college football is.

There's space for the kind of thoughtful, engaging sport stories the old "Only a Game" on NPR used to run, and this could be it.
