Photo: Old school news delivery device spotted

By Howard B. Owens

Dig the '80s style lettering on this old truck.

When I was poking around on Cedar Street this morning looking for some reported law enforcement effort going on, and finding nothing, I noticed Wade Avenue. I've never been down Wade Avenue before, so I drove to the end of the short street.

And the end was parked this old school delivery device for news, apparently put out to pasture. Shouldn't it be in a museum?

A few years back (maybe 5 years?) there were a bunch of these same trucks parked in a lot on Route 5, just west of the Village of Leroy. I think they had FOR SALE signs on them too.

Howard I think you should buy it! You could print your stories and pictures and sell them from there! Or make it an internet paper museum! Either way I think it is right up your alley! :)

Sure looks like a code violation to me. It is not the only large truck rusting away in someone yard in the city there is one near Washington and North st.
Sorry I am still bitter over the hard time the city gave me over a race car. Lucky me, I live near a city council member who didn't like it.
