Albert Einstein once likened life to riding a bicycle. His point was that the best way to balance is to keep moving.
In our effort to find balance, the North Shore News is moving from Central Lonsdale to new offices at 980 West First Street near Harbourside.
We’ll be about equidistant from Walmart and MacKay Creek, which feels somehow fitting for a North Shore business.
But before we cap the last pen and pen the last headline, we want to offer our sincere thanks to our former neighbours.
A city as beautiful as North Vancouver can slide by on its looks, but from our headquarters on Lonsdale and 15th we were privy to an amazing assortment of personalities. We’ve chatted with parents, panhandlers, priests, paranoiacs – and a few who had reason to be paranoid.
We will miss you all, and we thank you for helping make this newspaper what it is. There is no community newspaper without the community.
On Monday morning we begin unpacking and we hope you’ll come down and see us. Whether you’re a council watchdog or you noticed something interesting while watching dogs, we want to hear from you.
The North Shore News has survived the Internet, upheaval throughout the news industry, and a fire. Part of the credit is due to a talented and dedicated staff, but on balance, it’s not us, it’s you.
This is your newspaper, and as we move, we hope you’ll move with us. It’s the only way we can stay balanced.
