29 Sep

Creative Loafing just announced that they have filed for bankruptcy. What?! They say they aren’t going to fold, but dear god. What are Thomas and Hollis going to do assuming they are lying? Damn you, economy.

Creative Loafing Inc. — which owns alternative weekly newspapers in Chicago, Washington, Tampa, Charlotte and Sarasota, as well as Atlanta — today filed for bankruptcy protection.
