Dave brings word of the closing of Out of Town News in the heart of Harvard Square. While totally understandable, given the current shape newspapers are in, it still is pretty sad for me on a personal level.
When I lived in Cambridge, OoTN was a daily stop on my way to the T. I grabbed the Globe or the New York Times and headed into work. Once my daughter was born, we had a father-daughter walk each Sunday morning. She was in a stroller or a Baby Bjorn and we walked to get the Sunday New York Times. It allowed my wife to have a few minutes peace without a newborn in the house. I look back very, very fondly at that time especially with my daughter now being almost a decade old.
Though some are trying to keep it going, it doesn’t look good for Out Of Town News. I’m sure others have memories of it but these are mine.
