Closing Bell: Read All About It
A tipster alerted us to what she thought was a newspaper kiosk on 9th Street between 5th and 6th Avenues. It has “Cemusa” written on the side, which is apparently an award winning street furniture company. This picture was taken last week, has there been any headway made on it since?

I too am with 11217.
These aren’t just about Manhattan and the “Manhattan-ization of Park Slope.” They’ve been in Queens for a few years, too. Maybe this is the Astoria-ization of Park Slope?
Really, this is no more news than the fact that Apple is in the phone business. Sure the kiosks are ugly. Sure they are uniform and thus non-contextual. But they’re providing their street furniture to the city at no (minimal?) cost in exchange for advertising rights.
I’m with 11217. Every bus stop is made by cemusa. It’s hardly a mystery or novelty. Though, judging from the responses, anything can be newsworthy on Brownstoner!
wow could 11217 be anymore of a rude person? jeez.. these are news to me, tho it looks like i sprayed them with my silver spraypoaitn. ugh new keryb oard,
*trob*

Benson, the guy that runs the newsstand inside the Adams St. court house is blind. Nice guy and fun to shoot the breeze with in between calendar calls.
“Better we should have those old green wooden ones, complete with a visually impaired owner.”
Yeah. Now that’s a newsstand! Not only was the guy visually impaired, but he was also so scary you’d NEVER try to rip him off, blind or not. Those were the days!
