Kansas City Star Teaches Tech As Old Building STILL Blights Downtown

Two things . . . 

This month the newspaper takes time out to teach readers how to use their new digital offerings. Which kinda means that dead-tree media STILL hasn't designed content that's user friendly.

WHEN TAKING KANSAS CITY STAR TECH LESSONS, BE SURE TO OFFER HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS FOR THEIR OLD BUILDING!!!

Seems like somebody should've done something with the structure .  . . Like maybe build a baseball stadium there or some attraction that would draw visitors and create desperately needed jobs.

In the meantime, here's tech help as the signs seem to be clear that the almost daily newspaper is getting ready to cut their print circulation . . .
