Paper, not bytes, gets it done for Bulldog celebration
My Monday evening walk took me by Rosie's Flower Shop, located on Kern Street between E Street and F Street in the heart of Chinatown. Pasted on the storefront windows for the passing public to relish were three pages from The Bee's June 26 edition.
There was the A section's first page, devoted entirely to a photo of the Fresno State baseball team's celebration immediately after beating Georgia 6-1 in the College World Series championship game. Headline: "CHAMPS!"
There was the Sports section's front page, with some of the Bulldogs holding the championship trophy high over their heads. Headline:"BELIEVE IT".
And there was a page from inside the Sports section filled with color photos of key moments during and after the championship game. Headline: "A night to remember".
I'm 58 years old. I got my start in journalism in 1965 as a Bee sports stringer, phoning in Lindsay High School scores. I realize the Internet is here to stay.
But there's a reason why the people at Rosie's Flower Shop didn't paste their laptop computers in those windows. Sometimes, nothing beats an old-fashioned newspaper.
