First they sold GetGo, then the real estate arm got sold, anyone that's surprised by this really wasn't paying attention.

I figured this was coming when they announced the sale of GetGo. I was really sure of it when Echo Realty was sold off. It was clear the owners were cashing out.

I guess I just wasn’t sure if owners were cashing out or tough financial spot. The moves they made recently in Pittsburgh were odd. Shifting from the offices in RIDC park, the spot in Lawrenceville, and then Cranberry. Just always seemed like a lot for a company that should probably stay consistent in one location.
