Anyone else remember when reading your daily newspaper was a key part of your day?
I grew up in the NYC area in the 50s and 60s. There were at least 6 or 8 different newspapers to read every day, and I read 3 or 4, morning, noon and night.
And even when I moved to Rochester, there was a morning and an evening paper. Well, 40 years later and the afternoon paper is long gone, and the morning paper has been a liberal Gannett rag for decades, and it's on its way out.
Like you, as much as I hate the paper's philosophy, I'll miss the paper when it's gone.

In NYC I used to get the morning paper to read on the train and the evening edition to read on the way home. When I was a kid I used to work at the local candy store on Saturday night putting all the inserts into the Sunday Daily News, then would come back Sunday morning to finish up. They paid me in comic books.

When I moved to SA I subscribed to the Express News. One day I read an article about Congressman Lloyd Doggett and I sent a letter to the editor about how this guy was a real POS. My letter was published. A week later I received a letter in my mailbox threatening me.

Ended my subscription that day. I was hoping someone showed up at my house just so I could exercise my castle rights. Unfortunately not..
