Interesting..I read the Wall Street Journal for work..but was a fan of the Boston Globe...having worked in Downtown Boston for many years I noticed that most Bostonians read the Boston Herald for their daily commute...and the Sunday New York times Lifestyle section being quoted on Sex and the City as the "single womens sports section" go figure ..
