    Overall I feel that Philadelphia Weekly is far superior to City Paper when it comes to our weekly…read morepapers. I love both, I know plenty of people who have been involved with both, and both definitely have their strong points and imperfections. But when it comes down to it, City Paper is something that I tend to flip through, whereas I actually tend to stop and read a lot more things in PW. it really knows how to draw you in. I also feel that PW does a better job of sponsoring events. They were one of the major backers for this things like Popped Fest and realizePhiladelphia. and you can't go wrong with what they've done with Rittenhouse Square's Concerts in The Park series over the past few years. City Paper does have the better entertainment section by far though.

    I'm of the opinion that one cannot review Philadelphia Weekly without comparing it to CityPaper…read more You can probably tell from my rating that I prefer CityPaper. First of all, CityPaper has This Modern World. As much as I love Savage Love, my vote for "Best Syndicated Feature in a Free Philadelphia Weekly Paper" definitely goes to This Modern World. Every time I wish I had lower taxes or start having doubts about the Democrats' vision of healthcare reform, Tom Tomorrow is there to violently return my political leanings to the left. Sure, it's not for everyone, but if you're the type of person who can enjoy a publication full of tranny ads, you can probably laugh at This Modern World. (And although I realize I'm pulling a bit of a "but I have a lot of black friends!" here, I'd like to point out that I have several Republican friends who love This Modern World... Well, they're really Libertarians, but they vote Republican.) And honestly, This Modern World is the perfect comic for CityPaper. CityPaper is unabashed about what it is, while I feel that Philadelphia Weekly frequently pulls its punches. I like PW's music reviews and events descriptions a lot, and I'm the first to admit that CP's movie haikus used to be far, far funnier than they are today, but in the end CityPaper feels like it sold out than Philadelphia Weekly. Adamma, Anastasia and Nina (I don't know who's really in charge) need to let their writers do their thing. To conclude, I'll take a page from John H.: CityPaper is Letterman, Philadelphia Weekly is Leno. If your grandparents were going to read a publication full of tranny ads, they'd choose Philadelphia Weekly. In my 11:35 time slot, I'm gonna go with CityPaper.

    I still have love for City Paper, but it's definitely been dropping in quality of late. And it…read moreseems like everything that differentiates it from Philly Weekly is almost being phased out completely. Free Will Astrology is no more which is pretty sad. A.D. Amorosi's Ice Pack and other columns have been significantly cut down in size. But the biggest blasphemy of all is the fact that it no longer carries any of the awesomely hilarious comics that it used to have like Red Meat. At least it still has the "I Love You, I Hate You" section (which is generally nothing but a crapload of hate). But honestly, if I really wanted to get my fix of rants and raves from Philadelphia hooligans I'd sooner poke around on Craigslist. It was the better of the two for entertainment write ups, but now it's about equal with PW. I hate to say it, but City Paper is seriously slipping.

    Whenever I pick up the City Paper I go right to the "I love you I hate you" section. This always…read moreentertains me to no end. Vulgar messages of lust and passion and then total disgust and extreme anger. People venting their most primal urges- Gotta love it. They even published the one I wrote when somebody broke into my car- Yee ha!! Other than the love/hate column. I also enjoy the Bell Curve, and the Ice Pack as mentioned by Bill M. If you need to fuel your body with food or live music check here. You can find whatever floats your boat. There used to be an enteraining sex column Paper Doll, before that Ask Isadora. If I want to read crazy sex stories now I read Savage Love in the (Phila)Weekly.
