I miss my Sunday ritual of going to the Woodshed in southtown, and reading the Sunday papers while eating sausage, egg and cheese biscuits. Unfortunately there is no longer a Sunday paper to be had in town. The Urinal dropped its Sunday edition in 2010, when it switched from being a daily to a three days a week paper. The Reporter followed in 2018 when they went to all mail delivery, replacing the Sunday paper with a Saturday edition. This spring, the Kansas City Star stopped delivering on Sundays, having dropped weekday delivery before I moved here in 2006. The Tulsa World pulled out this spring, taking the USA Today with it. The Sammiches aren’t bad, but I can read the online editions at home or better yet do without.
Sales of the city papers had dropped over the last five years. The price of the papers doubled to four dollars for the Sunday edition. This wouldn’t have been too bad if the papers had last night’s news or even yesterday’s news. I don’t know where the extra money went, but not much went to the stores and even less went to the drivers delivering the paper.
