Owner, operator, head chef, printer, line cook, you name it - of Kenoy's in Clarksdale. We heard about the restaurant from someone J had been talking to at a gas station and the recommendation was definitely worth it. Amazing burgers there.

A typometer is a ruler which is usually divided in typographic points or ciceros on one of its sides and in centimeters or millimeters on the other, which was traditionally used in the graphic arts to inspect the measures of typographic materials. The most developed typometers could also measure the type size of a particular typeface, the leading of a text, the width of paragraph rules and other features of a printed text. This way, designers could study and reproduce the layout of a document.
One of the domains where the typometer was most widely used was the editorial offices of newspapers and magazines, where it was used along with other tools such as tracing paper and linen testers to define the layout of the pages of the publications, until the 1980s.
Typometers were initially made of wood or metal (in later times, of transparent plastic or acetate), and were produced in diverse shapes and sizes. Some of them presented several scales that were used to measure the properties of the text. Each scale corresponded with a type size or with a leading unit, if line blocks were divided by blank spaces. However, typometers could not be used to measure certain computer-generated type sizes, that could be set in fractions of points.
Due to the technological advancements in desktop publishing, that allow for a greater precision when setting the type size of texts, typometers have disappeared from most graphic design related professions. It keeps being used, even today, by traditional printers who still employ type metal. Source Wikipedia.

During my high school years I had a girlfriend whose dad worked as a printer for the San Francisco Chronicle. He smelled a bit like an old newspaper that had been stored in the attic for a few eons, and the tips of his fingers were permanently stained black. That was many years ago, and my assumption has been, that with the advent of the internet and high speed copy machines, the use of conventional ink printing had largely gone the way of the white elephant--extinct.
Not so, it appears. Half Moon Bay still sports an old print shop and from the looks of it, there could very well be some ink printing involved. To tell the truth though, I wasn't about to hang around and try to examine the fingers of the employees as they exited the building. I was afraid my eye might end up blacker than their fingers.

Traditionally the center of Nashville’s nightlife, Printers Alley was, in its earlier days, a series of posts where men bound for the courthouse hitched their horses. By the turn of the twentieth century, it had become the center of Nashville’s printing industry; in its heyday, circa 1915, thirteen publishers and ten printers were located in the area serviced by the alley. Nashville’s two largest newspapers, The Tennessean and the Nashville Banner had their offices here at one time. The street contained hotels, restaurants, and saloons, many of the latter becoming speakeasies when Prohibition went into effect in 1909. Nightclubs opened here in the 1940s, and the alley became a showcase for the talents of performers such as Boots Randolph, Chet Atkins, Waylon Jennings, Dottie West, The Supremes, Hank Williams, Barbara Mandrell, and Jimi Hendrix. Today’s nightclubs are the descendants of the saloons, speakeasies, and clubs which developed into the entertainment district still known as Printers Alley. ~ nashvilledowntown.com/go/printers-alley

Little is known about Paternoster Row in Birmingham.It ran along the side of the railway in and seemed to have appeared around 1873....probably used as a shortcut to Cund Bros,Printers and Lithographers who also had an entrance on Moor Street. It may have been named after Paternoster Row in London. Another quaint name will disappear with the building of HS2.
