I know they at least use to have a few coin operated newspaper vending machines on street corners in Philadelphia. Not sure about elsewhere, I only ever noticed them in Philly.
- bmelton 13y agoAre you sure they were coin-op? Everywhere I've ever seen them, they were free. They were definitely in a ... well, I don't know what you call the newspaper distribution boxes, but they were in one (presumably to protect against rain and such), but they were always free to take everywhere I've seen.
- jlgreco 13y agoThey very well may have been free, I'm not sure. That same general sort of machine though at least.
- bmelton 13y agoAh. Well there goes the idea I had in which they charged for it everywhere except DC (which would have been hilarious).
- ward 13y agoI believe they were free, or maybe the box...thing was just broken. I remember being amazed seeing The Onion in a printed version when I was in Philadelphia for a bit (I live in Belgium), always just assumed it was but a site. Saw them outside the Superfresh on South and 10th, I believe.
