			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Neighborhood Listservs are no place to notify the neighborhood of local businesses that may serve the neighborhood. Or so says our friend <strong>Bill D</strong> over on the mostly-entertaining <a href="http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/bestof/2009/peopleandplaces/staffpicks/best-neighborhood-listserv">Second-Best Neighborhood Listserv</a>. Uncle Bill offers this plea to his fellow angry Adams-Morganers:</p>
<blockquote><p>Can we limit or eliminate the commercial use of the listserv?  It doesn't matter if your business is yoga, furniture, real estate or restaurant/bar....it's still a business and this is not the place to advertise. City Paper or Craigslist are better suited to this purpose</p></blockquote>
<p>Per usual, a flurry of responses (if Bill D is for it, well then, I'm against it) follow. Hey: <a href="http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/citydesk/2009/03/30/hot-off-the-presses-total-disrespect/">at least he got the name right</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Another day, another<a href="http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/politicalwhore/2009/03/30/creative-loafing-bankruptcy-decision-set-for-tuesday-2-pm/"> update about the bankruptcy case filed by Creative Loafing</a>, our parent company.</p>
<p>Apparently a judge in the bankruptcy court will announce tomorrow if <strong>Creative Loafing's</strong> current owners can continue owning us and the rest of the chain, or if <strong>Atalaya,</strong> a creditor owed oodles (and a firm that also owns Bennigans), will be granted permission to take over.</p>
<p>Here's the money graph from Creative Loafing-Tampa Bay, the home newspaper of the group that bought us in 2007:</p>
<blockquote><p>Atalaya wants to foreclose on its $31 million in loans given to finance CL’s 2007 expansion and purchase of <em>Washington City Times</em> and the <em>Chicago Reader</em>. That action was blocked when CL filed for bankruptcy court protection under Chapter 11 of the federal code in September 2008.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>"Washington City Times"</strong>?</p>
<p>Again, this is from the flagship of the Creative Loafing chain.</p>
<p>"Washington City Times"?</p>
