See title. I hate that there’s no little huts for selling newspapers, snacks, and smokes to people. Closest thing I have here in the US is bodegas, but they don’t scratch the same itch. Cold days like this make me nostalgic.

We used to have them here in cities and you can even see them referenced in media up until the 1990’s by my recollection, but they basically disappeared by the 2000’s as far as I know. They may still be found in places like New York City or Chicago but not many others.
Aw man… Yeah, I only really see them in the context of sales kiosks inside malls in most places across the US these days. Now that I think about it, it would make sense if this was because most people in the US just drive everywhere. Death to big auto.
Yeah I guess the real contemporary equivalent is like 7/11, quik trip, That One Gas Station that sells glassware for tobacco use only, or bodegas; which yeah is kind of disappointing.
