Out Of Style News?

Posted by Robi
 

If you want to read newspaper headlines from around the world, you're only a mouse click away.

But for newspaper purists who prefer to hold the paper in their hands it 's worth hopping on the T for a trip to Harvard Square and Out Of Town News

Not for long

The landmark newspaper stand is closing early next year, a victim of plummeting newspaper sales. Blame the internet , the General Manager told the Cambridge Chronicle.

The Cambridge City Manager says despite the popularity of news on the web, he hopes the city can attract a similar business because "certain traditions belong in Harvard Square" but is that realistic?

Should the city move on with the times and admit this type of business won't work anymore? Does the "old fashioned" newspaper stand still appeal to you? Are you sad to see this Harvard Square landmark leave? Check out Jon Keller's take here
