Craig’s List, like a disappointing rummage sale

Sampan Fisherman by John Kelly

Craig’s List poisoned newspapers. They are the walking dead, yearning for the final blow (though all copies of the NY Times sold out in downtown Seattle, New York and Portland by 10 AM November 5 – keepsakes, perhaps.)

Boats, cars, furniture, boyfriends – online classified ads are overwhelmingly more robust, free, interactive.

But it looks like Portland art galleries are not in any danger of being replaced by the online juggernaut. Caveat emptor!
