The Daily News is moving at the end of this week to a new office a few blocks away in Woodland Hills.

Some are historic, but even the unremarkable editions of the paper are fun to look through.

Does anybody still keep newspapers as mementos of historic news and sports events?

The Daily News will offer something like it on Sunday. The sports section in Sunday's paper will include a Kobe Bryant poster. The full-page, full-color photo is something to save to commemorate the Lakers' star winning his first Most Valuable Player award this week.

I grew up in a household that put notable newspapers away in a dresser drawer, including ones my parents held onto from World War II and the Kennedy assassinations. Unfortunately, it wasn't an airtight drawer. We ended up with some crumbly old newsprint.
