There will be a major city in America without a daily paper this fall.

I am older sort of hate to see this go. I do not get the paper delivered anymore because I work so early I can't get to it. So people like me are the reason for the failure (And of course Katrina which decimated the population). I do try and stop and get one on my way to work. I am not so sure this paper was so liberal just my view. Times have changes but I used to really enjoy my coffee and paper in the morning. For me the computer just is not the same.

See, I can agree with this. For some inexplicable reason, I still dig the aesthetics of a newspaper in the hand. The ink-stained fingers, that paper smell, the aggravation of hunting ahead to page A-12 to continue the story ... there's something I'll miss about all that when physical papers are gone for good. The Times-Picayune has been a massive part of New Orleans-area culture over the years, I'm still a little surprised at this decision.
