I don't know much about this one, except that the former SE (now AME), Brian Peloza, is good people. Frankfort's nothing to write home about, though.

 

damn, beat me to it playthrough

 

That is pretty cool. Do they sometimes go by Wieners?

 

Fittingly enough, hotdogs are all you'll afford to eat on that salary. And not the fancy-schmancy all-beef ones either.

 

And Frankfort's home gym, Case Arena, was the homecourt for the Western University Dolphins in the basketball "classic" Blue Chips.

 

Should be noted that this is a Paxton paper.

 

Ew.

 

$25K max for a sports editor. Wow. I was familiar with this place when it was owned by Nixon.

 

And that was the salary for the same job during the Nixon administration, I'd bet.

 

Yep. Nixon was no bowl of cherries. This paper had a publisher who forced reporters to wear hats with wiener dogs on them while covering the newspaper-sponsored frankfurter festival. :

 

The Nixon publisher that I worked for now works for JRC, if that's any clue as to what Nixon was like...
