The Plain Dealer is trying to rent out part of its office and garage space near downtown Cleveland and sell 50 unused acres at its Tiedeman Production and Distribution Center in Brooklyn.

...

Grubb & Ellis will market the first floor of the three-story parking garage to tenants such as auto rental businesses or mechanics, Long said.

For all the times my old junkers were towed out of newsroom parking lots, I would have loved to have had an on-site mechanic.

And someone will say it...hire Ace to change oil.

I am so there.

Ink in my veins, oil on my coveralls. Same thing, really.

You so could rent space AT the Plain Dealer.

Glad to see they're looking to generate revenue from another thriving industry, like automotive.

No. May I assume it shows you're a quart low?
