Crown St Newsagency

When I think newsagents, I remember the local newsagents from when I was 5 and I’d follow my dad in to buy lotto tickets whenever the jackpot got big enough. Always dusty old stores with blue carpet and never more than 3 customers, it was always a miracle that they survived just on selling lotto tickets, newspapers and red frogs, because it was always a rare sight to see anyone actually buy one of the exxy magazines or the overpriced stationary. Not that I would have noticed, I was always too busy pining after the lollies and hoping my dad was in a generous mood.
No Red Clouds or Warheads here unfortunately, but they have a fantastic choice of magazines befitting it’s prime location in the heart of hipsterdom. On its limited shelfspace, Crown St Newsagency has curated a neat collection of glossies ranging from your Who and OK! s to the standard Cosmos, Donna Hays, Smith Journals to the Monocles and Dumbo Feathers you’d be proud to display in the wicker basket at the front of your fixie.
Some things never change though — there’s still inexplicably never more than 3 people in here.
