In a moment, yesterday's lines and waits to vote are a mere memory as people struggle to get copies of today's post-election newspapers as keepsakes. We're hearing that many newsstands are sold out!
NYC the Blog's Paolo Mastrangelo tells us:
The news stand on the corner of 145th and St. Nicholas, which consists of a gentleman who sets up two tables every morning to sell the newspapers, has been sold out since 5:45 am. He sets up at 5:30am and has all the daily newspapers, including Spanish language dailies, the Financial Times, and a smattering of other local newspapers such as the Amsterdam News. He informed me that he sold out of just about everything.
Which makes us wonder: Are the local papers going back to the presses to run off additional copies? At any rate, the news magazines will be putting out special election issues.
