(In the best possible way, of course.) See that? That green bill pictured above? We’d like to point out that it’s decidedly not necessary if you’d like to shop with us. October 3rd is a pretty big day here at Paper Shop; as of this morning, online subscriptions are gone. Obsolete. A thing of the…
Is it time for a change? No? That’s fine with us. Tomorrow will work, as will next week. Or even never. We’re able to roll with the changes any time you’d like to make them. Whether it’s updated wording, some extra details you’d like to include or a price reduction, we welcome changes to your…
If we’ve learned nothing else from the Great Twinkie Incident of 2012 & 2013, this much is clear: you don’t know what you’ve got ’til it’s gone. It’s funny how easy it is to take something for granted when it always seems to be available. It’s even more interesting how welcome the return of that…
You might say that May 20, 1899 was a bad day for Jacob German. The New York City cab driver was issued a speeding ticket. In fact, it was the first traffic ticket issued in he United States. German was cited for driving down Lexington Avenue at a whopping 12 MPH (the speed limit at…
In 30 minutes, you could burn around 120 calories playing Frisbee. If you were a cheetah, you could run about 30 miles. We’re not ones to boast about our Frisbee or cheetah skills (because, well, they’re non-existent), but we do manage to do some pretty impressive stuff in half an hour! When you place an…
We’d really love to help you do just that. After all, we’ve been helping local businesses advertise for 45 years. Did you know that you can run a display ad with us for as little as $13.50 a week? We offer a number of advertising options, and we’d be delighted to go over the different…
If you’ve now got the riff from that old ’80s tune in your head … well, you’re welcome! We could think of no better way to usher in both the last Friday of April and the deadline for the May 1st issue. Just as we do every Friday, we’ll spend the morning putting the final…
On this day in 1837, President Grover Cleveland was born. He’s the only president to serve two non-consecutive terms; he was both the 22nd and the 24th U.S. President. We bring up this interesting fact for two reasons. First, we just like odd trivia and historical data. Second, and most importantly, we wanted to remind…
Beware the Ides of March! Or, you know, don’t. Unless you’re Caesar (or someone who needs to be absolutely sure your ad appears in the next issue of Paper Shop), you’ll probably be okay. Friday is the day that we wrap up our week’s work, give the paper a final go-over, and send the whole…
Ever feel like you’ve got a round peg in a world full of square holes? Have you experienced the angst of uncertainty over which category would best suit your advertised item? Sadly, we can’t assist with existential crises, but we can help you put your ad in just the right spot. And we’re happy to…
