What was the name of your hometown newspaper?

Zebedee DuBois · 06-21-2005, 07:45 PM

In my little town, the Harold-Patriot came out on Tuesday and the Leader came out on Thursday, both published at the same company.

I figure the Harold-Patriot was a merger before my time, and the Leader a later aquisition - so that was three papers for a little town of 5000.

What was the name of your local fish wrap?

When I was in High school the paper was the Toganoxie Mirror.

Pre high school I lived in KC so the paper was the Times/Star. I had a paper route and I had to deliver the paper two times a day. It sucked. Not only did it suck just to deliver the paper twice a day but my route was between Troost and Paseo. I'm white, bad combination. I had a gun pulled on me and I was robbed (for one dollar) while delivering the paper.

We had the Journal Express - which was a combination, I guess - at some point before my time.

Des Moines had the Register for AM delivery and Tribune for evenings. At some point while I was a paper boy, they did away with the twice daily format and combined.

I delivered the Register as well.

I used to deliver "The Leavenworth Times" in the afternoon M-F, and on Sunday A.M when I was a kid.

No Saturday edition

I tthink I remember the Lv Times switching to a daily morning edition, 7 days a week, but that was several years after I moved on to bigger and better things.

Small town of 2500 had the Daily Chronicle in the 60's. Later became a weekly.
