I really have no idea which forum to post this; this seemed the best bet but if mods feel differently I’ll happily accept redirection. As I hope everyone knows by now the Straight Dope column will cease publication this week. I am wondering / hoping that someone who lives in Chicago would be kind enough to procure a paper copy of the Chicago Reader and send it my way. I’d be happy to pay for shipping and and “inconvenience fee” to anyone willing to help me procure a paper copy of the final SD column. If anyone out there is willing to do this, let me know. ---

Don’t do it, **Lancia**! You already decluttered once this year! ---

Ok, I’ve got one for you and it does say Final Straight Dope on the cover. I work near the Sears Tower so I can mail it on Monday (I’m off Friday) ---

If anyone has the January 25, 2018 (Volume 47, Number 16) issue, I’d appreciate it. Will pay mailing or whatever.
