Did somebody say T-P the streets?

Rolling the Avenue

Okay, no, not quite like that, anyway.

NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune will launch an additional print publication that will appear three times a week on newsstands beginning this summer. TPStreet, focusing on breaking news, sports and entertainment, will appear in a tab-size format, publishing on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. The new publication will cost 75 cents.
You have to hand it to Ricky Mathews et al for showing some robust balls here. "Here's yer goddamned print edition, suckers!" they seem to say as they open their browsers to NOLA.com and mash down on the Control and P keys.  No, they won't deliver copies of TPStreets to home subscribers.  That's just how much they think of it.. or of you.  Shouldn't you be greeting them at the gate as liberators, anyway?

Besides just having the thing show up on your doorstep takes away the fun of the hunt.

Did you find TPStreets on your corner this morning? Send a pic in to NOLA.com today! You should be able to distinguish the fun-size paper from  The Advocate which is (still) (sort of) an actual newspaper. Though, you might end up mistaking it for The New Orleans Street Exchange which is not.. although it is an actual street paper which TPStreet is not.  Got it? No? OK well maybe look for the one with the free 8 pack of Crayolas or the package of Famous Amos attached. That's probably it.

If you're lucky you'll pick up one of five TPStreetses each month that contain coveted Golden Tickets. The Tickets are good for a ride on the Great Glass Elevator at Canal Place. It will take you up to the NOLA Media Group offices where the tour will show you the machine that shrinks newspapers by breaking them into a million little pieces and beaming them onto small screens.

Like this but with a more obnoxious child making the decisions.
