This morning the Seattle Post-Intelligencer took employees up to the roof of its Elliott Avenue headquarters for a “Last Tour” of the iconic globe. Will tomorrow—or Wednesday, or even today—bring the newspaper’s last print edition?

Did anybody jump off?
Do they really only have 3 employees?
just die already
Three virtually identical photos?
@4, I think it’s so we can see/read the “It’s in the P-I” phrase in it’s entirety, so to speak. One more full revolution before it stops FOREVER.
Bum bum BUM.
Y’know, I never noticed before that the globe only has a western hemisphere. If the “It’s” is on Central/South America, then “P-I” should be on like New Zealand or something, shouldn’t it?
Or wait. Maybe it says it twice. Now I’m all confused.
What do you think they’ll do with that big globe when the paper goes tits up?
The phrase is rotating, but the globe itself is not.
I can’t wait to see the P-I globe in downtown Fremont.
Fuck Fremont. Fuck whimsy.
This guy @6, @7 — if you look at the globe on the other P-I thread, you can clearly see Australia and New Zealand: http://slog.thestranger.com/slog/archive…
Stuff it, @11.
Why do you never see great rediscovered art on Capitol Hill?
Because they’re too cool to enjoy great art.
Great art. Right. The Fremont troll is great art.
You’re an idiot, Will. A booger-eating crotch-picking finger-sniffing mouth-breathing slime-trail-leaving maroon of the first water.
14 needs to be removed. It is inappropriate and nasty.
It is APPROPRIATE and nasty.
@15 Oh but don’tchaknow Fnarf and Will in Seattle are Slog institutions. They’re untouchable and can shit in their cribs all day long – every click counts, so the Slog keeps them around. I don’t read their comments, much as I don’t read any posts by Erica, Lindy or that Brandon thing.
Back on topic: the P-I globe should go to MOHAI.
@17 that was a real cunty thing to say.
Back on topic: the P-I globe should go on the Space Needle.
Fnarf and WiS should get a room so they can go do the appropriate and nasty.
@18 — I like it!
@17 — my comments are better than yours.
fnarf is a grade A cockmongler.
google that one, bitches
Fnarf and WiS have no lives. Pity them. And if not, HEY! You can catch ’em on The Slog from 6 a.m. to 1 a.m. DAILY, don’t forget to tip your waitstaff folks!
Hey, at least I don’t talk about “the first water” …
The globe doesn’t spin, just the letters. Thus, you only see the Western Hemisphere.
I hope they save the globe for display somewhere in town.
@11 – quote of the year Fnarf, quote of the year.
