  • Who actually uses newsstands these days?

    In the old days I used to get my Computer Shopper magazine. But in the internet era, no need for it anymore.

  • “These newsstands will have an upgraded Lotto machine and phone lines.”

    Wasn’t aware these stands had phone lines. I am all for the owner of the newsstand.

    Just that I don’t often find myself heading to newsstands these days. In the old days I remember I had to do a project and get copies of the newspapers from various out of state papers.

    Nowadays with the internet, instead of the paper printing press, news has been distributed quickly in the digital age.

Late Edition: New Newsstand arrives!

Posted by Mickie T on Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT! The new newsstand arrives on a rainy Wednesday evening,

second try 2

and after-work commuters congratulate Jai on his new home!

See the slide show of the event here.

News stands are a whole social scene!  You should have seen have seen the number of local folks congratulating Jai, shaking his hand, giving him the thumbs up. Many passers-by were pleasantly surprised that the news stand and Jai were coming back. Many thought, like myself, it had closed forever and he had simply moved on. One guy even told him, “When I saw the new cement platform, I praised God that you were finally getting a new place!”

These newsstands will have an upgraded Lotto machine and phone lines.

Jai and new home

Just like Weegee used to do, it’s important to be at the right place at the right time, and have your camera ready.
