Rest in Peace, Recorder

The 140-year-old Recorder newspaper was euthanized on Jan. 22, 2009, because its owner, Journal Register Co., could not find a buyer.

The paper covered both boroughs of Conshohocken as well as Whitemarsh and Plymouth townships.

"The Recorder was my first full-time gig in journalism," said Joel Hoffmann, a Chestnut Hill Local staff writer who is widely known for his lack of objectivity and professionalism. "The Local is good to me, but you never forget your first."

A funeral service will not be held in the Recorder's honor.
