Devin and Andy consider the state of the Newsstand in New York City. Have newsstands taken some of that big OTB energy? Is it true newsstands aren’t allowed to sell anything for more than $20? Are newsstands slowly working their way back into the subways? Are Corn Nuts health food? What pivot could restore this essential street-level retail to glory? How does sound sculpture fit into all this?
