Thank goodness for the weekly Rhino! This is the only "fair and balanced" paper you can obtain…read morecovering Greensboro and vicinity. Of course, it doesn't appeal to the far left liberals - they are content to read the daily paper which carries the Democratic Party's water and mirrors the propaganda emanating from the Washington regime. I never cease to marvel at the depth of coverage which this weekly paper provides - and the investigative reporting is on par with the best "big city" newspapers (that is, the few unbiased papers remaining). I look forward to every issue as do the increasing number of readers (just compare the Real Estate advertising in this paper vs. the daily rag). As I previously said, "Thank goodness for the Rhino".

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.

They do have a "honor system" display for the USA Today and another newspaper so you don't have to wait in line.

I went to the store, the CNBC news on March 5, this week. The staff was nice and friendly, I was…read moreable to get the last New York Times Newspaper they had there and I bought some BAI juices. The store has mugs and souvenirs but I simply got juices and the newspaper. The lady at the desk told me that the ATM was beyond where the security was so I simply used my card at the machine. I will in the future go to the ATM before going to the store but that is not a bad reflection on the store.

In print and online, Indy Week is the free weekly newspaper for the Triangle area. Formerly the…read moreIndependent Weekly but no more since 2012, it's a tabloid-format newspaper for Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill and Cary. Available for pickup at more than 500 locations in the Raleigh Durham area, the circulation runs at around 200,000 according to the website. News, arts, music, food, events, this paper is plugged in to what's happening locally. I can't recall where I found my copy but I did manage to enjoy it. Interesting news about the area, specifically the "death-positivity movement" was an amusing read. And they have a crossword. That's awesome. Letters to the editor, classifieds, and a guide to the best of the Triangle. I'm a fan! [Review 12277 overall, 2061 of 2019.]

They're independent, sure, but that doesn't mean everything they report on involves hemp. I like the Independent because it's thoroughly useful. There really isn't a page in the thing that doesn't have some sort of relevant report on what's going on around me, particularly in regards to concerts and other entertainment. Any time I've said in another review to keep your eye on something, this is a good tool for doing just that, they're extremely well connected. The one exception to this are their reviews, which I often take issue with... Unless you have strong past experience to go on, don't trust their opinions on movies and shows, chances are you'll disagree.
