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..

Me too - one hour a day ($1), six days a week and two hours on Sunday.
We did all the inserts on Sunday @ 6am and the two I remember most were the Daily News and the Times. Hated the Times even back then :) I'd go home black as coal.
When I moved to Rochester I asked if there was candy store in the neighborhood and they pointed me to a Fanny Farmer's. Oy.
