Catch up quick: I met my now-husband while I was working at the Austin American-Statesman, and he immediately became a loyal print subscriber.
He saved every newspaper with my byline in his desk drawers, and even hauled the papers to our new place when we moved in together.
What's happening: Last month, he surprised me by showing up at our front door with a Statesman newspaper stand that he nabbed for free on Facebook Marketplace.
The intrigue: It turns out that — like all retro things at the moment — newspaper boxes are making a comeback.
TikTok creators are garnering thousands of likes for transforming newspaper boxes into free art exchange boxes or unique home decor.
