Accompanied by @aceatkins.bsky.social, I returned to the place I drove to almost every day from 1981 until 2019: the old Commercial Appeal building (5 stories, for close to 1500 employees!), now slated for demolition, possibly as early as this weekend. bit.ly/4aoPD2I
Reporter John Beifuss, who started his journalism career in 1981 at 495 Union, returned to the old Commercial Appeal building for one last visit.
Nice to see the M-town get its due right off the bat in Questlove’s new EARTH, WIND & FIRE documentary. (Not that the portrait of the city is flattering, beyond music…)
