Awesome: Chicago Tribune sends pizzas to exhausted Boston Globe employees

What a difference a pizza makes.

To say that the past week has been difficult for Boston Globe employees would be a gross understatement. The tremendous weight of wall-to-wall Boston Marathon bombing coverage coupled with lack of sleep has left them physically and emotionally exhausted. So, when dozens of pizzas were delivered to their office courtesy of the Chicago Tribune, they just couldn’t contain their joy and gratitude.
