and the beat goes on...

One of my good friends once said that with all the shenanigans at the Jerusalem Post, it is like a soap opera - he said it should be called "The bold and the Italics" :-)

One of the ways Azur was hoping to make a fast buck out of the JP purchase, was to sell the building, land and presses that currently house the nearly historical Jerusalem Post, currently valued at over $7,000,000.

rumor has it though, that he is finding the sale of the land quite impossible. Apparently the area is zoned for only a 4-5 story building and no one wants to buy it! There is also a local war going on over a proposed gas station in the area!

So much for the big white horse with prince charming coming in the form of CanWest to save the JP from the evil clutches of Hollinger. The ole days don't look so bad anymore!
