Wonder if AJC 2.0 Will Look Anything Like This?

HuffPo debuts their Chicago version. Lookin’ good! Let’s just hope they get to Atlanta before the snow flies. From Queen A:

Transferring The Huffington Post’s blend of news, opinion, and community — delivered with our familiar look and attitude — to a local level, HuffPost Chicago is part local news source, part resource guide, and part virtual soap box — featuring a collection of bloggers who know and love Chicago, and are looking to share their takes on everything from the Cubs to City Hall to the hot new local band to the best place for Greek food (and I can testify that there is a lot of that in Chicago!).

Today’s featured lineup includes Chicago-themed blog posts from John Cusack, blogging from Bangkok about his hometown; Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart, responding to a recent damning federal report on conditions at the jail under his command; local boy Jonathan Alter on what makes Chicago “His Kind of Town”; Playboy‘s Christie Hefner on great summer outings to be found in the city; Esther Cepeda advocating for a Chicago future fueled by nuclear power; and longtime Chicago radio host Edward Lifson, weighing in on what it will take for Chicago to land the 2016 Olympic Games.

And the Japanese tourists say… “Where was that Cox News Plantation? Out Jonesboro way?”
