T
he staff knows the drill. It's the newspa-
per's second move in a year. Work files
are piled into cardboard boxes along with
family photos, calendars and office sup-
plies. Plants are cradled in plastic bags and moved
along with computers and copier machines.
After the devastating fire a year ago that destroyed
the Jewish News' home of 12 years, the 61-year-old
publication is moving to a new permanent location
at 29200 Northwestern Highway at Franklin Road,
in the former FTD World Headquarters building in
Southfield. The suite is 110.
Southfield Mayor Brenda Lawrence says she was
nervous after the Jan. 27 fire. "I really wanted to
keep the Jewish News in our city," Lawrence says.
"We pride ourselves as being an international city
of diversity. We don't just have it, but celebrate and
embrace it. And one of the defining factors is the
Jewish News address in Southfield."
Says JN Publisher Arthur M. Horwitz, "The
Jewish News is returning to Southfield where, except
for the temporary space this past year in Farmington
Hills, it has been for 25 years."
