OK, anyone know the newspaper situation in Connecticut?

Everyone in Western CT - that is, the outer NYC suburbs - reads the Post, Times and Daily News like the rest of us, except they usually take their diddly local town paper too, most of which are owned by chains large or small, and suck in the same ways local papers do everywhere else, including having overwhelmingly liberal staffs and editorial pages. Generally they'll read the local paper on the train into the City, toss it in the giant recycling bins on each track inside Grand Central (a great place to get free papers, by the way!), and grab one or more of the NYC papers at a newsstand or have it waiting for them at work.

A lot of people buy the Post as a second paper in the afternoon to read on the train home. I always have thought that the stupidest move Murdoch ever made with the Post was taking it off a 24-hour production schedule. (It used to literally publish edition after edition all day and night, so whichever copy you bought had news never more than a few hours old.) At the very least, he ought to bring back an special afternoon edition to just sell around Grand Central, Penn Station, etc.

One of the great fringe benefits of working in Grand Central Station. That and having the Oyster Bar in the basement (at least the chowder is affordable!).
