See, I can agree with this. For some inexplicable reason, I still dig the aesthetics of a newspaper in the hand. The ink-stained fingers, that paper smell, the aggravation of hunting ahead to page A-12 to continue the story ... there's something I'll miss about all that when physical papers are gone for good. The Times-Picayune has been a massive part of New Orleans-area culture over the years, I'm still a little surprised at this decision.
