Metropolitan Square Newsstand

There’s an amazing variety of items in this little newsstand in the atrium of the Metropolitan Square building. For the past 10 years I’ve stopped in here nearly daily (and sometimes more than once in a day) to get something to drink before heading up to my office or to the garage on my way home.
Beyond the normal lottery, chips, soda, water, candy & gum, and newspapers, there are ice cream novelties, greeting cards, a small assortment of health & beauty items, kinder and ritter chocolate bars, soy chips & rice crackers, etc… Most of the time I’ve found what I might need here and only had to venture to the CVS ½ a block away on rare occasions. An added plus is the friendly lady who runs the newsstand.
There is also an ATM.
Like so many other places in this neighborhood, they are closed on the weekends and federal holidays which means I need to venture elsewhere when I work those days.
