Most people in my Southern CT neighborhood still get papers delivered. Even with the Internet, there are still local community papers that are much in demand.
I've had the Wall Street Journal delivered for years. Even though I take the online edition and read it on my iPad on the commuter train to work. I don't think you save any money just getting the online version so I take the paper as well, which I take to the local dog shelter where they apparently have uses for them.

I was a paperboy in Southern Connecticut. The Morning Record (now the Meriden Record-Journal). Collecting was the worst. Sometimes people would move owing four weeks or so after ducking.
I got a bonus five dollars when the price of the paper went up from 10 cents to 15 cents (50% increase!) and I kept all my customers!
You were in MA for your childhood? I used to buy the Boston Herald-American just for the comics section ... best in the country!
