I know girlie magazines is the first thing anyone thinks of when you say World Wide News but they used to be the only place in town where you could buy the English weeklies, Melody Maker, Sounds and NME, the Spanish daily newspapers and any obscure art magazine you could think of. Last time I was in there it was more like a corner store.
It was a beautiful day for a walk around the city. We had lunch at Fifth Frame and a late afternoon beer at Swiftwater. I’m thinking about painting the horseshoes for the new season.

You forgot Mexican Romantic Foto-novellas in your list of attractions at World-Wide.
We did sometimes pick up Kiss and Darling magazines there, the Italian romance photo novellas. But Bertha’s on East Main was our main source for those. The Hi Tech’s song, “A Woman’s Revenge,” which Peggi wrote, was based on one of those.

Hi-Techs – A Woman’s Revenge
And they carried the entire New Directions line of paperbacks, old school hipster reader heaven. Bertha was big, really big.
