Looks great!  Too bad the Times Union is so obviously biased.  You can dress it up, but it's still a small town newspaper.  An overdose of the holy ghost and divisiveness with no venue for contrasting opinion.

The new design is definitely an improvement. However, it puts even more focus on user comments, which are just horrible.

Here is a nice example of a comment about the Landing's parking issues. It's not vulgar so it was not removed, but it's just so idiotic that it should qualify for deletion.

QuoteSolve the parking problem by taking the landing and do away with it. Just push it over . This would solve a lot of downtown problems with thugs and homeless people having one less place to gather up. I have never been to the landing and don't plan on going there, I will be glad when ot is gone!!!!!

The contrast between comments on MetroJax and those of the TU website are remarkable!

It really is a tight knit group of not terribly bright regular commentors that strangle the site.

It shuts down all reasonable conversation.

The TU would be just as well to break up the little group of hijackers.

Sigh. Agreed.
