Chicago Tribune "Commercial real estate slump more apparent in suburbs"
2008-05-09 03:00:00 With the plethora of space that is available in downtown Chicago and continues to be built, as well as the high cost of parking and the long travel times, it is interesting to find out that the suburbs have actually felt a bigger slump in commercial real estate. The Chicago Tribune cites to an analysis by MB Real Estate, which found that "the overall vacancy rate for downtown increased from about 11.7 percent in the final three months of 2007 to 12.3 percent in the first quarter of 2008. Those numbers, while not exhilarating, are certainly better than Chicago saw in the early 1990s when vacancies soared. But in the suburbs, MB Real Estate found, the vacancy rate rose from 16.1 percent in the last quarter of 2007 to 17.3 percent in the first quarter of this year." While it is easier to travel within the suburbs, where there is ample free parking, limited rush periods and none of the aggravation that you find in the City of Chicago, the fact re...

It was a bitter split, but Winterhalder, 52, says he's happy now that the club has no claim on his time.The self-described workaholic...

Beyond LonelyGirl: Still Searching For A Web TV Smash
2008-04-28 18:18:00 Back in 2006 I wrote a short blog post about Cherub, a then popular internet-only TV series about a vampire with pink bunny slippers. Noting that there had to be more to streaming online entertainment than "YouTube cat-on-rollerskate videos", I mused that the first scripted web TV smash-hit couldn't be far off. Well, two years later -- an eternity by internet standards -- we're still waiting.

2008-03-16 20:52:00 (Return to Part 1)BOB ANDELMAN/Mr. MEDIA: I was just thinking about a conversation I had in the last year or two with Karen Dunlap at the Poynter Institute. It was at a time when a lot of moguls were looking at getting into journalism. I think it was mostly over the Tribune Company, Sam Zell, but also David Geffen and some other people. I suggested that maybe Poynter or Knight or one of the other non-profits might consider doing either a private presentation or seminar for some of these moguls and get them early on and say, ?Here?s the business side, but here?s also the side that you really can?t add up.? And that?s the stuff that you?re talking about that the Miami Herald is in Miami, the Chicago Tribune is in Chicago, and this is what it adds to the community, and this is what goes beyond. We?re gonna have a lot of people, I think, buying more newspaper companies and probably, as you say, not necessarily for the newspaper assets.ALBERTO IBARGUEN: I don?t know Mr. Zell. I have met ...
