Extra Extra Read all About It

Today is National Newspaper Carrier Day. When I heard this it brought back a lot of memories for me. I was a carrier for the Edmonton Journal when I was in high school. This goes back to the days when the paper was an evening paper.
So after work I stopped by the Edmonton Journal Building downtown. The original building was torn down a number of years ago. However, they did preserve a small section of the original building. The bottom two shots show a portion of the building as well as one of the elevators. These are located inside the glass window portion of the new building

What a lovely nod to this carrier of daily news and for the memory of your own childhood!
