@tracyswartz @chicagotribune @nypost Best wishes to a great newspaperwoman.

After 15 years, today is my last day @chicagotribune. It's been an honor to work the CPS, A&E and CTA beats in my time at the Trib + RedEye. I'm thrilled to start my new job Monday as an associate editor/writer of features/entertainment news @nypost. I'll be remote from Chicago.

I miss the sight of flappers frolicking.
