BJ moving within months?

Is Canadian owner David Black trying to find a new, smaller home for what’s left of the Beacon Journal?

Former BJ political writer Abe Zaidan writes in his Grumpy Abe blog that it’s only a matter of a few months – if Black Press can find someone to buy the once-hallowed building.

The “mausoleum” has all the departments on the third floor. The rest of the structure is vacant, except for a guard on the ground floor. A newsroom that once had more than 200 is down to about 60.

Once the site of a Music Hall, the Times-Press took over the 44 E. Exchange Street property in 1930.  Scripps-Howard  sold it in 1938 to John S. Knight.
