in a strange twist, a midweek (not sunday) edition of the PG was available a couple days ago at a newsstand north of I-80.

Not sure if this is a regular thing now, but if if so, it is a reverse of a decision a few years back to eliminate newsstand distribution pretty much anywhere north of the Beaver/Lawrence line.

There was no paper Saturday, Monday and Tuesday.

Thanksgiving week there will be no paper Saturday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

OTOH, Christmas and New Year's fall on a Tuesday this year so ... in yer face PG!

They have cut out all holiday editions except Thanksgiving. They gotta print and deliver a big paper Thanksgiving to crank up the holiday ads for black Friday and every day after till Dec. 26.

I did forget today and looked for the paper. My wife said it's Tuesday, no paper. But none Saturday and Monday, too, true.

The Blocks' ad campaign keeps descending lower, insulting about every demographic, and will go down as one of the worst in history, it seems. But like their new hero, antihero Trump, the operating ethic is smash what's there, and put nothing good in its place, as the whole point is to get people to notice you.
