Oak Ridger lament
Atomic Tumor is taking issue with his local newspaper, asking whether it’s “the Oak Ridger, or the Oak Ridge Enquirer?”
I could speculate on the reasons for the Oak Ridger going this direction, from the non-local ownership and editorial oversight, to the local newspaper competition, to the recent purchase of the paper, but I don’t know that it’d make a difference.
It is, however, very disheartening to those of us who are able to function objectively and not see black helicopters on the skyline, who know people working for the city council and the school system, who worked hard to keep buses going while understanding the financial need to have cut them back. The Oak Ridger may not be the best part of Oak Ridge, but it is a part, and one that is every bit as blighted as the apartments in Highland View.
Unfortunately, eminent domain doesn’t apply.
