    Parker's News Stand was a High Point institution. I believe the newsstand first opened in 1945 and…read moreclosed circa 2010. It was your classic, old-school, city newsstand, stocked with papers from up and down the East Coast, as well as all sorts of books and magazines. My dad, who consumed many physical newspapers back in the day (Barron's, Wall Street Journal, etc.), was a regular at Parker's News. It was a small shop, popular among local residents and furniture market visitors alike. When my picture was published in the February 1995 issue of GamePro Magazine (issue #67), my dad went to Parker's that weekend and bought out their entire stock of that issue. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6yHKFFd5iY&t=294s I remember making a special visit to Parker's in the mid-to-late 90s for a News Talk 1230 WMFR cookbook signing. Morning show host (and our neighbor) Max Meeks and company were at Parker's selling and signing cookbooks. https://www.yelp.com/biz/radio-station-wmfr-high-point I remember one of the younger guys with the WMFR crew was reading a professional wrestling magazine from one of the nearby shelves. I was a wrestling fan too. In the late 80s/early 90s, I thought pro wrestling was real. How dare Ric Flair cheat with the "Macho Man" Randy Savage's wife, Miss Elizabeth, as shown in the April 1992 issue of WWF Magazine? John A. Nagy wrote an excellent piece on Parker's News, published October 21, 1994 in the Greensboro News & Record.

    I enjoy visiting this jam-packed store and perusing the assortment of books, magazines, stationery,…read moreplanners, calendars, cards, toys and gifts. Having a Starbucks on premises is a nice touch. As other Yelpers have noted, unfortunately this location has felt it necessary to add numerical code locks to the restrooms. I understand the reasoning behind it, but the logistics of needing to use the restroom at the back of the store then needing to traverse to the front of the store to get the code, and back again, is asking a lot and will cause my visits to be cut short.

    I have always enjoyed a nice leisurely stroll around Barnes & Noble, hunting for interesting books…read more I am a voracious reader. I have been a member for years now. The discount and earned rewards are worth the cost of membership. I could spend all day there, perusing the various things that interest me. I am not happy with their change to adding a code to get into the bathroom. I realize they had issues with homeless people misusing the bathroom, but as a rectal cancer survivor, I don't have the time to hunt for an employee to get the code. I was literally seconds away from a bowel accident today, then had to turn around and find an employee. I was lucky, there was a guy shelving books close to the bathrooms. What if he hadn't been there, though? If I had to walk to the customer service desk or the register to get the code, I would have definitely had an accident. My suggestion to anybody that has bathroom issues, or small children, ask for the code as soon as you walk in the door. That way, you don't have to hunt for an employee and risk accidents. That is what I will be doing from now on.

    The cost of this paper, Greensboro News and Record, is ABSOLUTELY ridiculous and absurd! One…read morehundred dollars for 13 weeks of a paper that we NEVER get on the day of the news but one to two days LATE, for reasons I do NOT understand. We get another paper through the mail as well and it comes ON THE DAY of the news and that paper is FORTY dollars cheaper for the same 13 weeks! FORTY dollars cheaper!!! Unfortunately, my Father has dementia and enjoys reading his paper every day; he has lost so much - I cannot take away his paper too. SO...I will continue to pay this ungodly fee for this POOR service! DO BETTER News and Record! You have faithful customers who are aging and can't afford this outrageous cost; they deserve better treatment and more cost-effective papers (especially when online news is not an option). For some, it's all they have! Sincerely, Long-time Customer's ANNOYED Daughter

    I always liked the Greensboro News & Record. Living in High Point, we subscribed both to this paper…read moreand the local paper, the High Point Enterprise. I think we always preferred the News & Record over the Enterprise because it generally had better articles, but the Enterprise had better local coverage of High Point. The News & Record is the third largest daily newspaper in the state behind the Raleigh News & Observer (largest) and the Charlotte Observer (second largest). Growing up a Wake Forest men's basketball fan in the 90s, I particularly enjoyed the News & Record's coverage of Wake basketball during that time. Also, I liked the paper's coverage of ACC basketball in general and specifically, the special in-depth pieces they wrote during the weeks of the ACC Tournament. For those that don't know, the ACC (Atlantic Coast Conference) is headquartered in Greensboro and the tournament has been held at the Greensboro Coliseum 27 times since the conference was founded (1953-54 season). Did you know the News & Record used to sell internet service? Our first ISP (internet service provider) after AOL (America Online) was the News & Record's InfiNet service. It was dial-up internet and we connected using our 56 Kbps modem. My email address ended with @nr.infi.net, the "nr" standing for News & Record. I believe many newspapers sold internet service during this time. In general, I thought the service was good and reliable, though we'd get kicked off from time to time. InfiNet was our last dial-up ISP before we switched to cable internet (Time Warner Cable's Road Runner service, now Charter Spectrum). We never had any delivery issues with the News & Record that I can recall and we subscribed for decades.
