     Yes it did.  Like the two papers here, they merged.   
     The Telegraph Gazette in Colorado Springs is long gone.   
     We used to have the morning Advertiser and the afternoon Dispatch.  Both   
   owned by the same company, used the same press, etc.  Only the reporters   
   were different.   
     After the merger it became The Herald-Dispatch and quickly went downhill   
   with their standards.  With no competition they just cover (or not) whatever   
   they want.   
     The local rag is worthless.   
     And a few years ago they went from seven to four columns, and stopped   
   printing a Monday edition.   
     I read it online.

     I imagine they wondered who brought the paper in that day.  :)   
     On my cross-country tour in '19 I walked that route again, first time in   
   over 50 years and remarkably little changed.   
     The old high school is now a parking lot, but the house I picked up the   
   papers is still there.   
     Passing by the house with that open window I thought of that day.

      Ssh, don't give _those_ people any ideas...
