For Those Days When Doug Grow's Just Not Enough
Nick Coleman returning to Star Tribune:
Nick Coleman, a high-profile general columnist for the St. Paul Pioneer Press, will return to the Star Tribune as a metro columnist, the paper announced Tuesday.
"Nick started here," said Star Tribune Editor Anders Gyllenhaal. "When we saw the chance to bring him back, and bring readers with him, we jumped at it."
They jumped. I just about lost my lunch. At least the Mrs. is staying in St. Paul:
Coleman, 53, said he will begin his column in November, after his wife, Laura Billings, 36 -- the remaining Pioneer Press columnist in the family -- delivers their second baby.
The Strib will now feature this dynamic duo of metro columnists:
At the Star Tribune, Coleman will join Doug Grow, another newspaper veteran in his 50s who writes a general metro column. Both like to tether their columns to breaking news.
Coleman will write on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. Their columns will alternate during the week and both will appear on Sundays, Gyllenhaal said.
"They have similarities, but differences, too," Gyllenhaal said of Coleman and Grow. "Readers will appreciate both columns."
I'm not sure if "appreciate" is exactly the word I would use.
