Paras’ newsstand in San Diego’s North Park community has been there as long as I can remember (if only I could remember how long that’s been).
I love newsstands, and no matter where I’ve lived over the years, there have been newsstands in my life.
When we lived in Pasadena and Whittier, I thought nothing of driving to Hollywood to a newsstand that first opened in 1937 (no, I didn’t make the opening). Then and now the stand had just about everything – from foreign newspapers and magazines to the broadest possible range of American periodicals. Why would I make that trip? because neither Whittier nor Pasadena offered anything comparable.
