We know, we know. For some of us, it just takes a little time (and a bit of caffeine) get from a pre-alarm dozing state to our usual on-the-ball selves. So it’s not all that surprising that we might miss a detail or two of Saturday’s broadcast of Paper Shop Live! It happens. Even if…
Today’s a great day to give your email’s spam filter its due props: on April 12, 1994, the fist incident of mass commercial spamming occurred. We’re not talking green eggs & spam here, but rather the now-infamous Green Card Spam; that first mass emailed solicitation was from a pair of immigration lawyers & carried “Green…
Questions. We love ‘em. When somebody has a question for us here at Paper Shop, we know that they’re either already advertising with us or thinking of giving us a try. We’re happy to help with and all inquiries, and we’ve found that a number of them are, well, frequently asked questions. Here’s where we take…
Hey! You got your photo in my commission ad! No, you got your commission ad in my photo! It brings to mind that old peanut butter cup commercial; we’re also able to put together two things that are pretty great on their own but together make something that’s simply amazing. Folks, we bring you the…

Don’t hesitate to comment, tweet or even message us – we’ve got a longtime Paper Shop employee manning the switches…
On this day in 1904, what was once called Longacre Square got a brand new name. We can get behind that; we like change, and we also understand that circumstances change. That’s why we welcome changes and updates to the ads you’ve got running with us. Perhaps it’s a small increase in the mileage of…
We do our very best to be prepared for a fun & interesting broadcast every Saturday. We’re at the ESPN studio in the Times Building in downtown Scranton bright & early. Co-host Kim’s got both her information and her speaking voice all ready to go (possibly powered by caffeine). We’ve reminded people all week that…
It’s the minimum age to be a candidate to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives. It’s the number of cents in a quarter. And it’s how many years of marriage mark a silver wedding anniversary. No matter how you slice it, 25’s a big deal. And with us? It’s a free deal. When you…
Scholars are pretty sure that it’s how the Great Wall of China was financed. Benjamin Franklin used it to fund the purchase of a cannon to defend Philadelphia. You might have waited with bated breath on Saturday night to see those Powerball results (we did). Ah, lottery. If nothing else, it’s a great excuse to…
Maybe you’re just a casual reader here. Or maybe you’re someone who’s more comfortable communicating via email. Either way, you’re welcome to contact me. We’re always trying to address questions that people might have about Paper Shop, and whether you’ve got a query about our policies, an inquiry about our history or even just an…
