The place is barely ever open and barely stocked. If it is past the morning rush even if he is there packing up newspapers he will not sell you a paper.
Not much of a public convenience. It's ridiculous someone feels differently about the public benefit of renting the space to this guy.
maybe he didn't stock up because he was afraid that he'd be kicked out any day and did not want to throw away precious dollars.
what is the benefit of renting the public space (for free) to the "new" cooper union.
and why couldn't the city save the trees?
after all bloomburg has spent tons of dollars planting baby trees all over the city.
what's wrong with this picture?
Blue Glass - if you were familiar with how Jerry runs things you would know that in all his years he has never had a well stocked stand and has been open for only short, random hours.
yeah, i agree this newstand just takes up sidewalk space and isn't much of a benefit to the publlc. he needs to abide the terms of his lease or walk away.
these concessions are for the public good
Jerry Delakas's Trial is a little more complicated than this and people should be informed before talking about. The decision of the Court is not fair and we are fighting to prove this. Hope everyone could have all information on the blog I created www.thepaperhouse.org
