Trust Declares Hard-Partying P-I Globe Endangered

PI_globe.jpg
The Washington Trust for Historic Preservation has picked the P-I's globe as the poster child for its list of endangered historical places, reports the P-I. With the paper downsized to an online-only crew, its waterfront office space—and the rusty iconic ball that caps it—may no longer be in the cards.

Of course, as you can see from the encore showing of the video after the jump, one could argue that the Globe has been running himself down. Beers with Art Thiel and sizzurp with Lil Wayne will take its toll on even the heartiest partier. Sure, you're flying, Globe. But perhaps a little too close to the sun.
