Daydreamer is not a broadsheet with ironic, old fashioned graphics, but it is a voice for the alternative art scene. With feature articles and interviews with artists, bands and restauranteurs, Daydreamer is not just a vehicle for advertising. In fact, theres none to be found. It seems to be funded by the generosity of donors. What I really appreciate about the mag is that they understand the importance of layout to a magazine. A lot of alternative art publications that are underfunded and ideal-driven tend to think just anything goes. This magazine is fresh, visually engaging and filled with good stuff.

Brand new issue where are yooooooooooou?…read more The full blown super gloss hype of 215 Mag is still very much alive and well in Philly. Yet it just feels likes it's been months since I've seen a new issue come out. I've been along the print road long enough to know that it's a hard thing to do in these times. But of late it seems like 215 isn't even being consistently released as a quarterly. And at this rate by the time a new issue comes out, the city of Philadelphia leaves to many stories on the plate for the magazine that bears it's area code to cover. At least The website does a good job of keeping it fairly up to date. But I hope they prove me wrong and hook up a new issue soon!

215 = a magazine that fills me with Philadelphia pride…read more The magazine is, of course, quite hip - but somehow, it doesn't get too pretentious, or, hipster. 215 covers the overwhelming mix of cultures that make this city so unique - through art, music, fashion, and stunning photography. This magazine truly captures the heartbeat of the city in ways that Philadelphia Magazine, City Paper, and Philly Weekly are so sadly out of touch with. This ain't no Sixth Borough - it's Philadelphia. We're here, and we're happening.

Ever since I picked up issue #0 at the Elite event a few months back I've seen grid get better and…read morebetter. It's definitely dedicated 100% to better sustainability in Philadelphia, and it dishes it all out on 100% recycled paper. So far I've been in debt to the how to tidbits the most. But then again how could you possibly go wrong with anything that teaches you how to make your own microwaveable popcorn, can your own tomatoes, and make pizza using an iron skillet. You can also learn about useful things like how to make your apartment greener. But my minds obviously on the food :) and the features have been dead on. Issue one went in depth on the local foods that Honey's dishes out on your plate, and dedicated the bulk of it's issues to biking in Philly. And issue #1 took a look at the possibility of solar power in Philly's future, and started a feature where you can ask Philadelphia's Director Of Sustainability a question each issue. And with the food issue right around the corner it looks like Grid should be getting better and better.

I first discovered Grid Magazine while sipping on an Aztec Mocha latte at Mugshots in Fairmount…read more Looking for some reading material to cozy up with on the couch, I scanned the rack of usual suspects in the way of free publications and saw there was a newcomer to the mix. Printed on recycled paper and distributed around the city, the mag is focused on the sustainability efforts of Philadelphia. Not only are the layout and photography easy on the eye, but the content is spot-on. They get us. And not just in a common denominator "GO EAGLES! PHILLY RULES! CHEESESTEAKS! BOBBY CLARKE! WILL SMITH! Your town sucks!" kind of way (not that we're not good for that too). But our monopoly over the sport of trashtalk isn't all we've got going for us. Features include restaurant profiles that would make any locavore swoon, seasonal recipes to make the best use of your weekly CSA grab bag (roasted heirloom tomato soup with jalapeño yogurt, anyone??), a great how-to section, and articles on local government and businesses that speak to the cause. Grid magazine is thoughtful, well-executed, and full of information. For that, I keep back issues as resources with tabs on places I'd like to hit up or things to try at home later. Next on my agenda? Taking on their master list of bánh mì.

They literally play EVERYTHING on this station from Classic Rock, Funk, Blues, Hip Hop, and Alternative all entirely commercial free. They rely solely on donations from listeners who have had enough of crappy commercial radio.
