The Reader is a mere shadow of itself. Long gone are the three section tabloid with a zillion classified ads. I can’t understand how it lost interest over the years.

The Secret History of Chicago Music is still great, although it does not appear in each issue. They should bring back the Straight Dope column, but maybe that would not fly these days.
