Rocky Mountain ‘Bye

Scripps Publishing Closes Rocky Mountain News After Losing $16 Million; Failing to Find Buyer

The Denver Post is now the only major newspaper in Colorado after the Rocky Mountain News today published its final print edition. The paper has been a fixture of the Mile High City since it was founded in 1849.

So, starting tomorrow you won’t be able to buy the Rocky Mountain News but you’ll still be able to buy Rocky Mountain oysters.*.

Damn. That’s messed up.

*According to the McReynolds Farms website Rocky Mountain oysters are “delicious sliced, breaded, and deep-fried” … and if you don’t know what the hell you’re eating.

Yeah. The pickle’s a nice touch…
