Downtown Chicago on Michigan Avenue
Between hotels, restaurants, and what have you
Is the Johnson Publications building abandoned with neglect
Soon to be 150 apartments - a rich white guy cuts a check
Hit with some introspection, when was the last time I bought an Ebony or Jet?
I subscribed back when they first went digital but then broke my tablet
When I got a new device I honestly forgot that I had it
‘Internet killed the periodical for being sub par’
I used some hotel points to get an Essence subscription
So my daughter can see how black is beautiful (in print) juxtaposed to social media fiction
