Just say it's from a press release
The ending to this little notice in the Chronicle is amusing:
Two Metro customer-service centers will be to [sic] the agency's new headquarters at the Downtown Transit Center. The Ride-Store at 720 Main and the Lost & Found Office at 1201 Louisiana will be closed Friday for the move. The new Metro building is at 1900 Main. The two offices open there Dec. 20. Customers on Friday should visit the RideStore at 1001 Travis.
From staff reports
Here's the Metro press release from almost a week ago:
The METRO RideStore at 720 Main St. and METRO's Lost & Found Office at 1201 Louisiana will be closed on Friday, Dec. 17, to accommodate their move to the new Lee P. Brown METRO Administration Building at 1900 Main. The new METRO RideStore and Lost & Found Office will open for regular business on Monday, Dec. 20.
The METRO RideStore at 1001 Travis St. (one block west of Main Street Square) will remain at its current location and will be open Dec. 17 for patrons needing service information or fare items. However, Lost & Found services will not be available until Monday, Dec. 20.
In a perfect world, the end of the Chronicle's blurb would say "From a Metro press release." I am not sure an entry-level staffer pulling the press release off a fax machine counts as a "staff report."
