Yes, this is the No. 9 Duane Street Register, because I haven't yet found a guestbook script I like.

That's pretty cool. I just learned several things about newsboys I never would've even thought about before.

Awesome.

HOW WAS YOUR VISIT TO THE LODGING HOUSE? Pretty awesome!
ANY QUESTIONS YOU'D LIKE TO SEE ANSWERED? Nope, just dropping by for a fellow NMLer! Great job!

What I would like to know is... where do you get your information?

Several books, a few online maps, and tons of newspaper articles. I'll put the major sources on the site when I next update, although there's no way to list all the articles individually!

Did you do just do research online, or were there books. If you used books, which ones?

Some of both. Mostly newspaper articles. One thing I didn't look at was other fansites, since that's their hard work. It'd take too long to list everything, but I'll put up the major sources when I update the site.

Is there a way of finding out which of the newsboys we know and love actually stayed at this particular LH?

Oh, neat question. I know about some of them, although historically speaking they're off by a few years in the movie. When I put up the page about newsboy names...or maybe when I update that page later...I'll mark the ones I know were at the DSLH.

Any questions you'd like to see answered? Will you be my friend? ;) Er, I mean, I friended your LJ. Please and thank you.

An easy question to answer :-)

Cookie e-mailed me with a question of general interest, copied here with her permission:

But one quick question, where you said that "carrying the banner" meant to sleep outside, did you get that off the DVD or was in backed up from other research? Cause I'm still convinced it was an error on the dvd, seeing as a banner is a newspaper and it would make sense to carry a newspaper- sell it, but I was just curious if you had any other sources besides the DVD or sites that referenced the DVD.

From my response:

As for "carrying the banner," it's real. It's given in Helen Campbell's book (see the main site page). Many of the historical newsboy names also come from her book; the filmmakers apparently used her as a resource quite a bit.

Newsies fan, history buff, both, neither? More on the newsies side of both
Dinner or just a bed? Both would be fabulous ;)
How was your visit to the Lodging House? Awesome- I'm excited for more stuff to come!
Any questions you'd like to see answered? I think it'd be great if there was more info on the real newsies, a like "See who's staying here" type of thing, maybe a little bio on them? That may be a tall order, but the site is awesome! Keep on the good work!

I think it'd be great if there was more info on the real newsies, a like "See who's staying here" type of thing, maybe a little bio on them?

That would be cool, but aside from what's already on the site, there isn't much more info on individual newsboys at the DSLH. For many of the boys listed on the site, it's not even recorded if they stayed at the DSLH; all that's known is that they were newsboys, and newsboys slept in a variety of places...at the DSLH, at other LHs, on the streets, at their family's home.

Of course if I do find something later on, you guys will be the first to see it!

Hey there, you asked about Times articles that mention Kid Blink, so here are the ones I have:

Jul 25, 1899. p. 3

Jul 27, 1899. p. 3

Jul 28, 1899. p. 4

Aug 1, 1899. p. 3

How was your visit to the Lodging House? Awesome! So much wonderful information! Although, bits of it make me confused in my fic writing... do I stick with movie canon or real life canon?

Hey I think doing a little section on the Brooklyn side would be very useful and interesting!

do I stick with movie canon or real life canon?

Heh. Reconciling the two different floorplans makes my head hurt.

Friended ya.

Me, too. :) I can't decide whether I want to be loyal to history or the movie!

Thanks!
