THE NIGHT OWL

DO YOU REMEMBER THE DAILY NEWS EDITION CALLED THE NIGHT OWL? IT WOULD COME OUT AROUND 10PM EVERY NIGHT AND WAS DATED THE FOLLOWING DAY.WE WOULD ALWAYS GET A GANG TO WALK OVER TO UNION ST AND 4TH AVE TO BUY IT FOR OUR MOMS, I THINK THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN THAT EDITION WAS THE DAYS NUMBER. THAT WAS THE DAILY AMOUNT SPENT AT THE TRACK THAT DAY.THE LAST THREE DIGITS WERE THE ILLEGAL NUMBER,WHICH ALMOST EVERYONE HAD A BUCK OR TWO ON.YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE PAPER AS THE CLUB WOULD GET A PHONE CALL AROUND 5PM WITH THE NUMBER, THE PAPER WAS CONFORMATION THAT YOU HIT!!
