While there was still a moving truck in front of St. Columba Church as of January 25, the property has reportedly been va - cated. There is plywood on some of the church’s windows and the entire property, from the church to its attached, brick-faced social hall, appears empty. When residents pulled together last year to thwart the demolition of St. Columba Church and nix the proposed housing pro - ject, they were told that the property would likely be abandoned. Undeterred, 244 res - idents signed the registry. Of those opposing residents, there were many fighting for the preservation of the church, saying they didn’t want a housing project making the streets even busier. Now, some of those residents are continu - ing to demand the property be safeguarded On January ?B, a moving truck was parked at Chabad NDG’s former home in St. Columba’s hall and the church had some windows boarded up. against time and the elements.

They have an on-again-off-again relationship with the web. Sometimes they are there, for free. Sometimes they aren’t online at all. And sometimes they hide behind pay walls. For the layperson, the newspaper industry can seem like the buggy whip industry. It may be here now and it is old timey, but perhaps it has no material place in the modern world and is in its death throes. Fair enough, but consider this. The mass market internet will turn, in my view, 22 years old this year. I date it from the IPO of Netscape in August 1995. It was then that the internet arrived on everyone’s radar and internet companies found investors willing to back them in a material way.
