      <content>Wow. Thanks for posting. I have a couple thoughts:

First, I'd totally try to steal that Gourmet sign.

Second I thought, how sad and depressing. Then I thought that this picture has been replicated a thousand times all over the country ie. offices closing/pink slips. 

Doesn't make it any less sadder though. Still can't believe Gourmet is gone...</content>

      <content>It is very sad indeed...my heart goes out to all that worked at Gourmet!

I am so glad I did not throw out all the Gourmet Magazines I have collected through out the years, I have some dating back from 1960-present! 

Matter of fact i bought 2 of the last one!</content>

      <content>Wow. Intense. And weirdly, hauntingly beautiful, in a sad way.  Thank you for sharing.

      <content>I hope thet were allowed to take all the swag that they recieved.  A small gift, but it would be appropriate.</content>

      <content>look at cond&#233; nast's loss in ad pages.  while gourmet isn't singled out, if it was similar in scope, it was very bad: http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/11/11/a-big-drop-in-ad-pages-for-conde-nast/</content>
