Whenever I am out of town I pick up whatever free weekly publication is available and refer to it for the skinny on arts and entertainment events. Newcity, a free news and arts weekly, is one of the last local papers published here in Chicago, and has been published every week for about twenty years. With so many titles owned and edited by large national companies, Newcity's quiet and consistent coverage of what's really going in our fine town is always a pleasure to read. Their gallery section is the most comprehensive in the city, and their film reviews are always top notch. They also publish supplemental titles, including Boutiqueville, an overview of Chicago's independent fashion scene, and Best of Chicago, their oft-imitated- never-duplicated annual manual. Do other papers boast more pages? Sure. But Newcity's commitment to superior local coverage of the best and brightest in Chicago arts and entertainment stands alone. You can pick up a copy of Newcity at bookstores, cafes, or in their signature orange boxes in high-traffic neighborhoods.

In times that most papers are hurting and slowing down, the bridgeport news has kept their pages full of articles, business advertisements and classifieds. It's nice to see they are now even on the internet.

It is sad that I do not have a similar publivation where I now live. My mom still has framed clippings from the BN of when I was in kindergarten! Submitting editorial pieces, advertsing, or announcements is so easy. You just stop by the office with the content that you want and a small fee. It almost felt like a school paper. Ahhhhh... nostalgia....

Dat's entertainment. Dat's entertainment. Dahlings…read more Chicago Social, n/k/a CS, is a glitzy, glossy, free magazine which is distributed to condo buildings and news boxes in certain areas downtown and on the north side. Since CS is free, anyone and everyone from the unwashed masses to the landed gentry who bathe in C-Notes can pick up a copy and get up to speed on local dining, parties, shopping, clothing, interior design and who's who in the local social scene (read: benefit attendees). Since CS is glossy, you can sit in your Gold Coast condo and spill your champagne on it or in your Rogers Park hovel and spill Diet RC on it and still be no worse for the wear, as the spillage will run right off, and you can continue perusing high culture. Dahling, isn't that fah-bulous? Ooh-kay, gurl? Basically, what CS is is a bunch of advertising and rah-rah PR that caters to those with substantial disposable income, those who clamor to one day have substantial disposable income and the pretentious who fall somewhere in the middle. Holla. It's about restaurants, shopping, clothing, jewelry, real estate, interior design and parties. It's to be taken more as entertainment than as informational, and it's always to be taken with a grain of salt. No publication with opinions written in the pretentious first person plural (e.g., "We felt the decor, ambiance and sushi were simply fabulous") is to be taken seriously on general principle. Probably the best part of CS is the section with the party photos. It's always interesting to see where the who's who and celebs are partying, with whom and whether or not they're hot. One must know every month where Bill Kurtis and Donna LaPietra are partying, or one may not be able to go out on the social scene for fear of embarrassment when discourse convenes over cocktails. Whether you're dirt poor or filthy rich, we recommend picking up a copy of CS monthly. It's an amazing way to plug into local society and get up to speed on everything that's fabulous locally. We'll see you on Michigan Avenue, dah-lings. Five stars.

The glossy covers and high end advertisements are only the beginning. The magazine has a true and honest connection to the city often featuring our own on the cover and in the pages.

Came across this magazine a while back and still amazed they are not more known. They are pretty cool because they talk about not only my friends local band, but major acts that come through town too. They are crazy diverse. One article will be an interview with someone from Ministry and the next a review on Laura Marling. And I have yet to see a story on any flavor of the month bands. When I want to find out about music events happening around town, I don't have to wade through a ton of crap articles about food or gossip. They get to the point. What I really like about In The Loop Magazine is how they are apparently still independent and real. They are not filtered or censored -yet anyway. Love reading the original stories they do, although I wish they'd do more. Love the events calendar and how I can sync with it. The website is really clean, lots of stuff to read about, easy to navigate, cool videos and interviews I've never seen anywhere else again, including my friend local band. Not often you find somewhere that talks about the locals and the nationals. I love anything Chicago especially the Chicago music scene. These guys and gals get it. Nice job everyone! You've got me hooked! I'll stay in the loop with ya!
