Before someone jams the CP site, I want to say that Wemple, Cherkis, and DeBonis rule (as well as numerous layed-off departed CP reporters). Good luck.

Best of luck, City Paper! Atalaya, you have a great bunch of people there. Listen to them!

Karma's a bitch, isn't it Eason? I told you two years ago when you announced the first round of layoffs that your numbers didn't make sense. Maybe if you had trusted your employees versus giving high-ranking positions to all of your friends, the situation may have ended differently.

Why are you linking to other publications' reports? Aren't you doing your own reporting on your own future? Weird. DCist breaks the news on who owns City Paper? Pick up a phone, dude.
