DON'T LOOK FOR YESTERDAY'S BOX SCORES IN TODAY'S PAPER.

If your local printed newspaper is part of the Gannett chain, you're getting a lot of USA Today content, plus maybe a page or two of local material.  As I understand it, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel and Green Bay Press-Gazette are now printed in Peoria.  (And no Chicago and North Western express trains to move the bundles of papers any more.)

The Journal Company recently built a printing plant in West Milwaukee, Wisconsin (which once had low residential property taxes thanks to a lot of heavy industry).  Now that Gannett have moved the printing to Peoria, that West Milwaukee plant went up for sale.

The Tribune Company bought it.  Not a joke.

An affiliate of the owner of The Chicago Tribune has purchased The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel's closed printing plant in West Milwaukee.

Twenty Lake Holdings LLC, a real estate affiliate of Tribune owner Alden Global Capital, bought the facility for $26 million, our partners at the Milwaukee Business Journal report.

Journal-Sentinel owner Gannett closed the plant at 4101 W. Burnham St. in May amid falling newspaper circulation. The closure meant 180 full-time and part-time workers lost their jobs.

Nor is the rest of the story. "The Tribune is currently printed at the leased Chicago Tribune Freedom Center in Chicago, but there are efforts to turn that building into a casino."
