News Seattle’s Last Newsstand Featured In the LA Times
posted by on August 11 at 12:14 PM
Seattle’s last newsstand—a small blue shack on Third and Pike, which I wrote about in July—is featured in today’s LA Times.
Gant’s still in the process of getting new permits for the stand and has put together a design for a new kiosk, which will be renamed Turco’s Last Stand.
Gant is looking for donors and volunteers to help him keep the stand open. If you’ve always wanted to be a news vendor, you can contact Gant here.
Newsstands in Seattle: hilarious.
*for the record, I love newsstands. I may be laughing right now, but is there a serious way we can donate to his stand without having to e-mail him?
I think Newsstands could work near Light rail stations.
This just sounds like a bad business model. And doesn't the newsstand in the Market count?
It's a horrible business model. That's why he needs so much help. But I'm willing to give him some bill. Why not? It's still better than giving it to politicians.
If the Fun Forrest at Seattle Center fails, I nominate this newstand as heir appearant to the Saddest Place on Earth (TM)
What the fuck is that orange thing? Is it a transporter. Has no one seen The Fly?

Madness, I'm not getting in that thing.
He has to destroy the newsstand in order to save it.
What's the point?
I work near that location, and I have never seen it open. It is always strewn w/ piss and newspapers. In dire need of something new, I guess.
Um, isnt there a newsstand on 1st and Pike???
At the end of the Market, right on 1st?
