Trentonian giving way to donut makers (insert cop jokes here)

[Songbird]

The hedge fund is selling the Trentonian building to a Dunkin Donuts manufacturing plant.

No one knows where where the next Trentonian building will be in the city.



This is one of the lasting memories I have of the Trentonian newsroom, when a cluster of reporters, editors, and sales people huddled around the corner TV to watch Obama's inauguration.

Two years later, sadly, it looked like this more often than not ...

Though it did get lively at times with the live Web shows I produced ...

And for some reason, Knarr would start banging away on the Underhill in the library, all the time ...

Even got Billy Ripken in there one day for a live interview ...

Got a thousand more photos of the joint.

Is the paper going to remain open or is this another Tampa. The building was sold and the paper disappeared?

Should have sold the place to Planters. ROASTED NUTS!

 

[Shropshire Slasher]

ROASTED DONUTS!

Hey! Respect for the dead!

Love ya, Perch!

any photos of Fortenbaugh doing the Slammy's column or typing any nicknames. still know a coach who gets angry at his nickname.

Used to have a lot of shots of Fortenbaugh ... have to check how far back my Google storage goes. Fortenbaugh. My god. Didn't expect to hear his name today.

"Doughnuts" (although I realize Dunkin' Donuts is a chain name)

Just a pet peeve of mine.

Did they knock the building down?

Did Billy have "**** face" written on the back of his hand?

Manufacturing plant? Krispy Kreme makes its donuts at the store.

That does seem odd. Dunkin stores owned by the same franchisee will have doughnuts made at a central store, but I have never heard of a manufacturing plant.

Where does this land on the scale for odd thread resurrection?

odd thread resurrection?

indeed.

I see it moved out of Trenton. Where is the Onian printed these days?

Last time I was in Trenton was in 2015 when I took NJ Transit down there and caught an Amtrak the rest of the way home because it was a good $100 cheaper. As I stood at the power bank marked as a phone charging station giving my ancient iPhone 4 a boost, a guy standing next to me turned and said "I'll ****in' kick your ass" for no reason whatsoever. It was at that moment that I decided that my phone was just fine at eight percent and that waiting on the platform for the Keystone Service might be the better plan.
