And... you could not have those really old letterpress presses swing in unison because the buildings would actually sway! Or so Harrie Lewis told me so many years ago...

The Los Angeles Times is moving from downtown to the beach. Can't really argue with that. In second grade we toured the downtown facility. The best thing about it was the hats they made out of the newspaper fresh off the presses. We all had ink stained foreheads. The old Times-Mirror building is primed for "creative spaces" and condos.
