Oh, that's awesome. I still love newsstands.

Neat. I haven't seen an open newsstand like that in many years. Do they still have them in New York?

I see those stacks and stacks of pulps and just think how much they are worth today and even more important: I wonder if the pages are actually still white at that point, and what does that look like?

Oh, and notice how many of them are enormous faces, just like video display covers today. I think more magazines now are body profiles and the like.
