Beautifying empty newspaper boxes
As some news operations contemplate a digital-only future, and free-sheets fall on hard times, you may find yourself wondering, “What about all those empty honor boxes on the street?”
Wonder no more.
Toronto street artist Posterchild has at least one idea that just might grow on you.

As a life-long gardener who believes in creating green spaces, not to mention my years of working in the publishing field, I am happy to see a clever use of empty newspaper boxes around town; perhaps we no longer see these boxes chained to the posts, or even smashed by vandals; instead, we will see these flower boxes decorating our sidewalks. This, I truly believe would offer us a soothing transition from print to digital era that has come in our midst.
