when the newspaper guy cut open the stack (just thrown from the truck that never came to a complete stop) and sold you the first copy (normally one deep as the first one was usually ripped or wrinkled). But the internet killed it and now they are, as said above, magazine stands (with soda and candy), but the life went out of them when the newspaper culture died. I appreciate what your friend is doing, but I think he is going to be pulled perforce on line.
I remember getting one of those Friday PM editions just after the bundles had hit the corner right in front of us in Lower Manhattan. That was the day Lee McPhail handed down the infamous "George Brett pine tar bat decision." That was a rambunctious crowd around that newsboy all shaking their rolled up papers in the air and making harsh statements in frustration.
