Pizza by the slice (only at lunch and late night) costs $2 for cheese or pepperoni. Calzones are $6 and a meatball sandwich is $5. And based on three visits, I'd say Medi's pizza beats Puget Sound Pizza not only in price, but Medi's blasts PSP's execution.
A large cheese pizza will run you $10 - that's about half of what a large costs at Puget Sound Pizza down the hill. The menu is brief, basic (pizza, calzones, pasta) and seems shockingly well priced. Medi's owners are the same as O'Malley's, the pub just down the street (they make killer Philly cheesesteaks). Medi's opened nearly three weeks ago in the storefront where Sluggo Music used to be. And here's something new for Sixth: a pizza-by-the-slice restaurant. At night, it takes on a more mature tone with live music and karaoke. It may be my new favorite kid-friendly hangout in Tacoma, aside from the Harmon. The food is bargain priced, daytime patrons are a mix of funky hipsters, guys in construction garb and families with kids. The downscale pizza joint is like a red sauce Italian pasta and pizza joint, just minus the red-checked tablecloths. I'll have a more in-depth report Friday, but here are the basics. Local journalists from the newspapers, each of whom were profiled on the papers' websites this week, thanked readers for keeping up with coverage over the past decade and a half.Medi's Pizza and Pasta on Sixth Avenue is entering its third week of business. Sadly, 15 years later, his own publishing company would be taken out by a more powerful killer - the new coronavirus. "Every section will be taken out by category killers." "I looked at the Tribune and thought exactly the same thing will happen to traditional media companies," Ryan said in 2014, after his chain had spread across the southwest suburbs and the North Shore. He'd seen the same thing happen with department stores as specialty stores sliced up their market. Years later, Ryan told Chicago media columnist Mike Miner that the Tribune was ready to be taken down by a "category killer" - a small operation that would relentlessly focus on community news in a way the Tribune couldn't. He left the papers in 2015, turning day-to-day operations over to Coughlin, who was among Ryan's first editorial staffers.
They specialized in community features and photos, delivering more local information than anyone else in the market. Ryan felt stung and abused by the news media, the Chicago Tribune in particular, which hyped the sex-club story with particular zeal.įor a while, Ryan presided over the papers personally, working from a small south suburban office and dealing directly with the editorial staff, many of whom were recent college graduates in their first journalism jobs. The Tribune and other longtime publishers were vulnerable in the suburbs, he believed, and he went after their audience hard with his expanding collection of weeklies. This seemed a curious business venture at a time when the print-publishing industry was facing a major contraction in advertising revenue.īut the Wilmette native and New Trier High School graduate who made a fortune as a partner at Goldman Sachs saw opportunity. Senate seat.Ī year later, Ryan started his newspaper company. Ryan did, and Obama went on to easily win that U.S. The scandal prompted Republican leaders to insist he bow out of the race. The documents, pursued in court by the Chicago Tribune, revealed Ryan's penchant for sex clubs and how he forced his wife to accompany him to such places. In 2004, Ryan was forced to end his Senate campaign over a scandal involving sealed custody records and his ex-wife, actress Jeri Ryan. Readers may remember Ryan as the Republican who briefly faced Barack Obama in a race for the U.S. His first newspaper, The Homer Horizon, was published in Homer Glen.

The company's peak circulation was about 170,000 copies, making 22nd Century the third largest newspaper operator in Illinois. Later, the papers sought paid subscriptions. The company, founded by millionaire investment banker Jack Ryan, began as a collection of free weeklies delivered to every address in town. The situation had shifted abruptly by Tuesday, however, and staff were informed via teleconference that they were being let go. "If you believe in the power and importance of journalism, especially at the local level, please subscribe, whether you want to read our content or not." "While we were (working) 16-hour days to bring our thousands of readers important and reliable news, advertising grinded to a halt and our clients (understandably) could not pay invoices. "This month, amid the spread of the coronavirus, the bottom dropped out," Coughlin wrote on Twitter.
