Worse than Spare Change Guy

Single Girl in the City is not amused by BostonNow hawkers:

... They're more annoying than if the Spare Change guy WAS one of the Metro hawkers. ...

Meanwhile, Dan Kennedy wishes the paper would hire a copy editor.

Hmm, there's a thought: I could stand outside Park Street in the morning hawking the site: HUB HEAH! GET YER HUUUUUUUUUUB HEAH!

Awww, there's something a bit special about SpareChange Guy. Although I'm not too fond of fox news using him for rating, I did like seeing his insight on the TV, and I for some reason the I smile when I hear that familiar voice.

The other day downtown I saw him asking "CAAaannn AnnyboDDDYyy SpppaaaAAAARRRrree a Light", I helped him out.

And yes, there is a face book group, albeit not as popular as the 3 wheeler guys group.

Anyways, the paper guys are much worse. I don't mind the fact that they're loud and annoying... it's the city, plenty of people / things are.

I do mind when they lunge and stick a paper in your face trying to get you to grab it. BACK OFF BUDDY, I'll take it if I want it.

I heard they do this because they faster they get rid of the papers, the quicker they can go home.

I noticed some of the BostonNOW!!!1 hawkers were using the slogan "BostonNOW, get it now, read it later!"

For some reason that amused me quite muchly.
