This was an epic moment for me. Chicago and Blogher13. I just had to see The Chicago Tribune. A long way from the Kitchener-Waterloo Record, and Ryerson Journalism school and London Free Press. I’ve had bylines a lot of places over the years: from The Kamloops News to the Free Press, the Record, the Toronto Sun, Today’s Parent and Canadian Family, and dozens of small dailies, plus my favourite moment, a few published essays in the Globe and Mail. But standing inside the lobby of this grand lady, I remembered why I got into this business of writing.




Thank you for sharing, I hope that you enjoyed the BlogHer13 conference.
Very cool moment 🙂
Oh fabulous! What a beautiful building it is, and what a great reflective moment for a writer! 🙂
Wow! That is a really amazing moment! Wish I were able to be at BlogHer with you ladies! Sounds like it was a fab time!
What an amazing moment for you, Paula. Thanks for sharing with us.
What … the old K-W Record building had history… and asbestos… definitely much more stately 🙂 Great pic! Hope you enjoyed BlogHer!
Bwahaha ha.,, yes asbestos is a real drawing card. Horrid old building. Plenty of great people there though!
What a wonderful opportunity for you! Hope you had a great time at BlogHer.
I so wish I was able to go. I bet it was a wonderful experience.
Ellen: it was a great event again. Loved Chicago!

Looking good!
Reminding one’s self of where it all began is so encouraging!
Definitely an amazing memorable moment! Wow,that was a long time ago. There is a 1920’s print shop at the museum where I work and find it fascinating. Thanks for sharing:)
It’s so awesome when you get to visit a place that has so much significance to you!
