Tomorrow is International Newspaper Carrier Day!
When I first moved to Houston back in 1976 I subscribed to the Post which was a morning paper. The Chronicle was an evening paper then. I added the Chronicle in 1989 although it was by then also a morning paper, but the cost was only about $4.00/mo. After the Hobby family sold the Post it went belly up and to prevent anyone else from moving in, the Chronicle bought the actual physical plant of the Post. Now they are a monopoly and do as they please. The cost is now about $65 for eight weeks (not even two months). I am considering dropping my subscription.
