You guys reached the highwater mark of newspaperdom when Al Goldstein put his periodical on the street.

So, Daily Post, Weekly News, those were the days:

Jamrock Magazine Brooklyn Times-Union The City Sun (weekly) Colored American (weekly) Daily Graphic Der Groyser Kundes (Yiddish-language weekly) Freedom's Journal The Freeman Freie Arbeiter Stimme (Yiddish-language) Guardian (United States) (weekly) Long Island Press Ming Pao Daily News (Chinese-language daily) New York Age / New York Age Defender The New York Blade (weekly) New York Clipper New York Daily Mirror New York Dispatch New York Enquirer (twice weekly) New York Evening Mail The New York Globe (two newspapers) New York Graphic New York Guardian (monthly) New York Herald (daily) New York Herald Tribune (daily) New York Journal American (daily) New York Mirror New York Press (historical) The New York Sporting Whip New York Sports Express The New York Sun (daily) New York Tribune (daily) New York World Journal Tribune New York World-Telegram New York World New Yorker Staatszeitung (German-language weekly) PM (newspaper) Spirit of the Times Staten Island Register The Sun (New York) M

So, don't get snippy with me young'n, I've seen more NY City periodicals go down than you've ever seen in existence.

You keep on making the most patently ridiculous assumptions!LOL

I well remember a whole lot of now defunct N.Y.C. papers, as well as many now defunct department stores. When I was growing up there, there were eleven daily newspapers and that's not counting the foreign language and weekly ones.

Your newspaper list is pathetically incomplete! You left out The Village Voice ( still going ), The East Village Other ( defunct ), Amerikai Magyar Szo ( Hungarian ), The N.Y. Examiner, and quite a few others, defunct and still in print.

Since when, exactly, is the now defunct "SCREW" in the same category as a real newspaper?

Just how "young" do you assume I am ? LOL

That's odd -- given Florence's behaviour I expected you to mention Al Goldstein's magazine [censored] (but the name resembles a common metallic fastener which is removed with a screwdriver).

Cheers!
