The Onion in print[views:3171][posts:13]______________________________ [Nov 10,2011 2:29pm - Lamp ""] So I've noticed they've got distribution for the print version of the Onion in Providence now at a few spots and supposedly in Warwick too, basically the same way you get a regular newspaper. Open up the box, take one for free. Are there any other New England cities where this is sprouting up? Really cool. |

| ______________________________ [Nov 10,2011 2:35pm - Lamp ""] sxealex said:onion has been in print forever b4 the website i think Yeah, but did it have this kind of distribution around here before? Hell no, otherwise I would have known about it. I knew these things existed in Madison, but I wonder how many other cities out there are doing it? |

Don't know why I saved em they just take up space now. I used to grab em cuz I didnt even know it was a big thing, like on the internet and what have you, I thought it was just NY. |

My mom got me one when I was 15 for Christmas and I was hooked on it forever. I used to buy the new ones whenever they came out, but they stopped doing the collections and kind of changed the layout of the site too... I think the only time I ever saw print versions was when I went to the Flywheel. |
