Then Gannett announced that their printing plant would be closing and moving the printing of the daily Democrat & Chronicle to another plant out of state. […]

Going through life I have had some weird observations that have both bewildered and truly, utterly confused me. First: You probably haven’t observed this, and my pointing it out will undoubtedly begin to bug you as you watch TV shows and movies in the future.

This is how the Times of Wayne County comes together. No, there are no big offices with scads of staff running around, pushing to make deadline for the next edition.
