Saw a story on channel 9, I think, the mayor is naming the press room in City Hall after the newly retired Craig Dellimore.

I know 42 years is a long time at one station, and not sure if all that time was at City Hall, but to name it after one person does not seem right. I think of other City hall journalists who worked there and broke bigger stories. Harry Golden. Fran Spielman. John Kass. Ray Hanania. Not to mention Mike Royko. And that is just the print reporters.

The longtime guy before him is forgotten?!

"Dellimore became political editor at WBBM Newsradio in 2001 — succeeding the legendary Bob Crawford, who had held the post since the station went all-news in 1968."
