At age 10, friends and I ran along Bloor St. after school looking for change in newspaper boxes’ coin-return slots. We raced box to box, pushing each other away, trying to get hands on the thing first. Today, the newspaper box is an endangered species. I had a favourite Star box in the Dupont-Christie area, next to a Russian Orthodox cathedral. Our newspaper boxes didn’t trick you into paying for something that wasn’t there.
