    Once again the Monochrome, sorry--the Chronogram, spreads the hopeful message of gentrification/"benevolent White People from the City to save a decaying yet quaint river town from itself" sort of story. Mahoney's right; if you want news about "every drug bust, political misdeed, and triple homicide," i.e. the have-nots and the black and brown people who are only obliquely mentioned, then look elsewhere. {The artsy empty street "local color minus the color" photos speak volumes. } The Chronogram is Yuppie Porn. It is an extended advertisement for pretty things for pretty people.. "Chrysalis?!" Are you serious? George Washington, exquisite artisanal printing presses, loft space, cafes, reiki for your pets, etc.?

    Come on.
