Nothing to see here. Move along.
A couple days ago, Mark Toczak Tosczak of the Biz Journal called to ask about rumors that we had pulled Go Triad out of Winston-Salem and, if true, what that would mean for the name of the A&E tab.
I wasn't helpful. To steal whatever thunder he might have in this week's pub, here's the story. We have not pulled out of Winston. We have reduced the number of free copies we distribute on news racks there. Right now we give away about 1,000 copies, down from 6,000 a year ago.
A few months ago, we focused our circulation efforts and cherry-picked our best locations. We weren't getting a large response from advertisers in Winston and decided we could save some real money by distributing the freebies smarter. Still, thanks primarily to the efforts of editor Jeri Rowe, we are maintaining a vital presence there. Winston events and entertainers have and will continue to feed the news content. We know that many people think nothing of traveling from one city to the other in the Triad to feed their entertainment jones.

Ahem. Tosczak. It is harder to spell than Robinson, I admit, but it's also in your archives. :-)

Even worse, Mark, I know how to spell it and just plain got it wrong. My apologies.
