Where can I buy Los Angeles Times newspaper (weekend edition) in Berlin?

fwiw you could try the press shop at kudamm near the zoo, they have a decent selection of international papers. not sure if they carry the la times specifically but worth a shot

theres a newsstand at hauptbahnhof near the reisezentrum that sometimes has US papers, but its hit or miss tbh. if u dont mind a bit of a trip, try die internationale presse on rankestraße near zoologischer garten, theyre pretty reliable for weekend editions of foreign papers. also maybe check with the american church in berlin or the library at the jfk institute, they might know where to grab one or even have a copy u can peek at

honestly i think your best bet is the international press shop at friedrichstrasse or maybe the one at zoo station. they usually stock the big US papers on weekends

Worth noting that Berlin street names have official umlaut and ß rules that trip people up, so a sign showing "Strasse" versus "Straße" is not actually a spelling error, just an older transcription. Same with "ue" versus "ü" (e.g. "Kantstrasse" vs "Kantstraße"), both are considered valid renderings and you'll see the ß version on the blue Schilder and the ss version on older plaques or in databases that predate Unicode. If the difference you're seeing is between those two forms, there's nothing to fix and both are technically correct.

if the signs u mean are the old enamel ones on the house facades those are often protected as Baudenkmal so nobody's allowed to correct them even if the spelling is outdated. the binding version is whatever is in the Berliner Strassenverzeichnis plus the entry in the Liegenschaftskataster, so if u tell me the street i can point u to the right Bezirksamt Mitte or Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf page. tbh the merged district thing is real but the facade signs are a separate story, theyre basically museum pieces at this point

honestly thats super common in Charlottenburg, the district offices were merged from older Bezirke and nobody ever fixed all the Schilder. if its a real street you can check the official strassenverzeichnis on berlin.de, that list is what the Burgeramt actually goes by. which street is it? some of the Kaiserdamm / Kantstrasse signs are notorious for this.
