Yesterday, many folks of indeterminate identity celebrated the feast of an obscure Roman Catholic saint. In honor of this largely unknown and unheralded tradition, check out the recently sunsetted evening edition of the local Cork newspaper, the Evening Echo.
Now published daily in the morning and simply named The Echo, the paper covers local news of Cork and environs. Its a great follow if you’re looking for the kind of faraway local view on current events that brings nostalgia for the interminable wash of souls, lapping anonymously through similar rivers to your own.
The evening edition was sold on the streets for decades by poor, often homeless children, “The Echo Boys.”
