About Us

TTN started out as a small news stand in the heart of Times Square in the late 1920's. The stand was run by one man, Robert Smith, who was 22 at the time of opening. Unfortunately, Smith only lived for another year when he was hit by a runaway horse that left him dead on the street in a bloody mess. Luckily, Smith had just hired his first employee the day before he died. Samuel Franklin took Smith's place as owner of the stand, despite there being no recorded records of Smith hiring Franklin and the mysterious horse that Franklin owned which resembled the horse that had killed Smith. Unfortunately, no one ever found out, because Franklin was found dead in his apartment in an apparent suicide.

 

After this, TTN didn't show up again until the 1960's, when it was revealed that Smith in fact had a son, who was unaware of him. Locals who knew Smith and his news stand posted ads on every newspaper in America to find Smith's missing son, and boy did it work. David Smith, age 35, was found at his luxury beach front home in Los Angeles. Smith Jr. had received his wealth from the lottery in which he won. When Smith Jr. learned he was the true son of Robert Smith, he did what every brave man would do, and dropped his fancy life in exchange for taking up TTN which had been left in the dust for more that 30 years. Smith Jr. continued his fathers legacy up until the 2010's, when he was unfortunately hit by a runaway self driving car. TTN was then taken up by a college student from RVCC who has stated he needs it for his project, and this is where the story ends, for now.
