Rolling Stone Closes Last San Francisco Office...

Rolling Stone magazine has severed its last tenuous link to San Francisco, the city where Jann Wenner co-founded the irreverent biweekly 42 years ago to cover the psychedelic rock scene and counterculture movement flourishing in the region.

New York publisher Wenner Media will shutter its three-person office at 1700 Montgomery St., spokesman Mark Neschis said. It housed one Rolling Stone sales representative, who will relocate to Los Angeles. The other two employees, a Men’s Journal representative and an assistant, are being laid off.

“There wasn’t enough business to justify having a full-time office in San Francisco,” Neschis said. “It’s a challenging economic environment.”
