Newsland, a magazine-shop staple of the University area for the past 30 years, closed July 17 to the despair of owner Roger Walsh’s customers. “I’ve come to tears with customers saying goodbye,” he said. “Emotional.” Walsh predicts that magazines won’t be around after five years — it’ll all be on the Internet, and print might be available as subscription only.
