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.

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.

Today was exceptionally bad, not only the wrong paper delivered but the customer service representative said that they won't get me my paper and gave some lame excuse for why, despite me informing the rep. that I had tried going to 5 convenience stores/pharmacies and they either no longer sell papers or they are sold out. A credit to my subscription can't make up for this paper, which has the obit for the most important DJ in Philly history who passed yesterday, someone I met and had great respect for (and when I try to access the online news edition, my access is denied). So impersonal and cold!

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.

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.

We ordered hats from Press & Release and everything came out fantastic.

He delivered with prompt and friendly service. Going to be ordering from Press & Release moving forward! Thanks Travis!
