I personally would be sad to see it go as I always pick up my copy every week. But honestly, print publications don't hold the cache they once did, especially now that almost everyone seems equipped with a smartphone. Of course they are advantages and disadvantages with print vs online content, but something about holding newsprint in your hand that makes it more tangible. Guess we'll have to wait and see who ponies up the most $ and then what they decide what to do with it.

Creative Loafing is a double edged sword. It's always had so much potential to really give a voice to the underculture of Atlanta but seems content to skate the surface of it most of the time. It wouldn't be the end of the world if it did come under some new management.
