    Parker's News Stand

    Parker's News Stand was a High Point institution. I believe the newsstand first opened in 1945 and…read moreclosed circa 2010. It was your classic, old-school, city newsstand, stocked with papers from up and down the East Coast, as well as all sorts of books and magazines. My dad, who consumed many physical newspapers back in the day (Barron's, Wall Street Journal, etc.), was a regular at Parker's News. It was a small shop, popular among local residents and furniture market visitors alike. When my picture was published in the February 1995 issue of GamePro Magazine (issue #67), my dad went to Parker's that weekend and bought out their entire stock of that issue. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6yHKFFd5iY&t=294s I remember making a special visit to Parker's in the mid-to-late 90s for a News Talk 1230 WMFR cookbook signing. Morning show host (and our neighbor) Max Meeks and company were at Parker's selling and signing cookbooks. https://www.yelp.com/biz/radio-station-wmfr-high-point I remember one of the younger guys with the WMFR crew was reading a professional wrestling magazine from one of the nearby shelves. I was a wrestling fan too. In the late 80s/early 90s, I thought pro wrestling was real. How dare Ric Flair cheat with the "Macho Man" Randy Savage's wife, Miss Elizabeth, as shown in the April 1992 issue of WWF Magazine? John A. Nagy wrote an excellent piece on Parker's News, published October 21, 1994 in the Greensboro News & Record.

Hopefully, the link still works by the time you read this. Thank you, Parker's News, for the decades of service to the High Point community and its visitors from around the world.
