Do you still read the newspaper? I do!

Having been born in a "newspaper" home, I often wonder why folks aren't reading the paper like in the past. I realize there are many avenues to obtain your daily dose of news, but a newspaper IS different. You can take it anywhere, use it as a pet toilet training device, start a fire with it, clip coupons, and fill up your waste recycler and more!

Free PressMy late father (bless his soul), worked, lived and grew the Detroit Free Press. I remember many nights awaking to his work schedule. He would wake up at 1:30 in the morning to go to work. His job as a Detroit Free Press circulation manager, was to deliver the papers to the carriers & newsstands. He loved his job of over 27 years! He loved his Teamsters union as well.

We always had a paper in our home. I was even a Detroit Free Press carrier. (My first job) After the nasty strike in the 90's his love for both papers (News & Free Press) seemed to fade.

But there is not a day that goes by that I don't think of him and his love for the papers! I am still a reader of the Detroit News newspaper.

Unfortunately, my wife and 18 year old son don't share my joy of reading the papers like my Dad did and I do!

If they made newspapers out of magazine paper, I might read them.  I can't stand the ink on my fingers and turning the pages is like nails on a chalkboard to me! ICK!

My wife likes to read the paper, I like the sports section.

David...

Could talk to my husband (Broker Bryant) about his newspaper? He stopped reading it months ago. It is still being delivered to our home...I have to take all those newspapers load them in my Jeep...Drive to the main road with the rest of the garbage for pick up. Please tell My Broker to cancel his subscription. :)
