Two old-school newsstands that are still holding on

Yesterday, Jeremiah noted the demise of another old-style newsstand near Union Square...

Which reminds me of the recent photos that I took...

Broadway near Astor Place...



... and 23rd Street and Park Avenue South...




Appreciate them while you can ... soon they, too, will be described as "dull, blank box, another ticky-tacky nothing."

Jeremiah has more on vanishing newsstands here.

I think my favorite part of the 23rd St. newsstand is the fact that there is a NYSC, a Bank of America, and a 7-11 right behind it.

They are lonesome relics on the busy streets of NY. U try to patronize them whenever I'm thirsty. Too bad not many offers seltzer water though...
