Upper Crust

I'm a Nick's Pizza guy, but I do enjoy the occasional slice of Upper Crust pizza when I'm lunching downtown.  I know. I'm a yuppie.

Anyway, some news involving our local franchise in the Globe.

Bad News for News

I don't know how I missed this last week. From media blogger Dan Kennedy, citing a Boston Globe article (link to article in blog post.)

Second, the Eagle-Tribune papers north of Boston have cut 21 positions at their four daily newspapers and several related publications, writes the Boston Globe’s Todd Wallack. The dailies are the Eagle-Tribune of North Andover, the Daily News of Newburyport, the Salem News and the Gloucester Daily Times. The company is owned by CNHI, based in Montgomery, Ala..

I honestly can't see where the cuts could be, especially among the editorial staff.

Any Nominees?

Katy Ives' victory in the state senate race opens up a spot on the council, one that will be filled in the next few months, according to the Daily News. Steve Hutcheson would be an obvious choice given his finish in last year's election, but let's get some less than obvious suggestions.

Any nominees from the crowd?
