You should see some subtle but important changes in our business section, beginning tomorrow. What we’ve done is redesign the mast to make it smaller. The idea is to give us a little more room on the page for display and for getting in business news that is important to readers. We’re making a similar change on the religion pages as well.

It’s pretty clear that our business coverage isn’t as hefty as it once was. Part of that was the decision to eliminate extensive stock listings and with that change move the section into the metro section. Tough moves, clearly, and reflective of the changing ways that readers get information and what our staff can best devote its time to.

Anyway, take a look at the change and let me know what you think.

Nobody asked me, but here’s my top 5 list of Cheap Eats, inspired by our relish story today on same. If you have favorites, let me know.

1) Prissy Polly’s in K’ville. Two types of BBQ and free banana pudding if you get the trivia question right. I liked the old location better, but it’s hard to fight progress.
2) Lighthouse. Two generations of Doumases know their way around the kitchen. I have eaten more hamburgers there than I can remember.
3) The Thai place at the H-T on Cloverdale. You can rent a movie while you wait for them to cook your food.
4) Cookout. I don’t know how they make that many flavors of milkshakes in there, but they do.
5) IHOP. I am partial to their pumpkin pancakes.

And there you have it…
