Remember suburban newsagents? No, me neither…read more I mean, who really uses a newsagent anymore? Oh sure, pensioners, but who else? I used to buy 3 cent cobbers and 5 cent red frogs here back in the dizzle, but times have changed and Killer Pythons are no longer 20 cents. Still, it's comforting to know that newsagents haven't moved with the times, they're still the same ol' reassuring newspapers-n-bus ticket puerveyors they've always been, so when I had a sore throat and needed the benevolent balm of some Butter Menthols, I knew just where to get them.

This local newsagency has everything you'd expect - the latest magazines, scratchies, gift cards…read moreand expensive stationary. All I needed to buy was an oversized envelope, one stamp and a birthday card. Did you know that you can't purchase single stamps nowadays? I mean how often do we send mail these days? Instead of spending 60c on a stamp, you end up spending $6 on a sheet of ten (that you'll probably never use). Venting aside, I found the birthday card easily enough, though the single envelopes are mysteriously found behind the counter. I didn't expect to be able to purchase Darrell Lea chocolates to go with my birthday card. They have a whole section dedicated to these chocolates, enshrined in all their purple and white glory. It's a little difficult to resist that corner, so make sure that the next time you head in to buy the latest Cosmopolitan magazine, that you don't find yourself scratching your head with a box of these in your other hand.

All times I've visited this store, they've had some section or some aisles blocked by staff for restocking or some rearrangement or something - the store hasn't seemed to be 'tidy' (if that's the right word for it?), but its variety of printed products, gifts, cards, and great staff make it a good place to shop at.

I really love my local newsagency. For a small store they have quite a lot in it without being…read moremessy or appearing crammed. They have the mags I like - Frankie, Yen, Web Designer, Wallpaper as well as all the glossies, sports and family magazines and newspapers. But they also have things like super glue, sparklers, A3 coloured card, files, street maps, birthday candles and icecream. If you run out of bread, milk or Tim Tams this week shop will have you covered when the markets are closed. My only issue is the three stairs up to get in her as I often have a pram with me. Not a big deal but would be easier without them. The staff are very kind and friendly.

The name Sydney Sun is taken from an actual newspaper which began in 1910.

I've made requests for magazines that she doesn't stock on a couple of occasions now, not that I'm trying to test her, but it seem she thinks so. The response is nearly always along the lines of 'why would you ask me for that, who even reads that' - at least that's what the non-verbal communication would suggest. Meh.

She acknowledges each one by name with a joyous and very happy smile and a warm individualised greeting for each person. She is most attentive to her customers and will do whatever she can to meet any needs and requests if she is able. She is so respectful and with her smile she connects with you with that delightful twinkle in her eyes. She beautifully, in her long and often demanding day, continuously on her feet, is amazing. I"m confidant people feel uplifted from a visit to her newsagency; as every encounter I've observed and experienced comes from a space and place of delight and love. Oh that we could have more Jennys in our world. Carmel
