By Denise Wright I’ve paid my dues — more than $115,000, to be exact. I’ve sat through many classes where I wanted to take down every word the professor was saying. But I’ve sat through just as many classes (and endured plenty of people) I didn’t care two hoots about. In the spirit of the semester winding [...]

Since then we've grown to be the largest alternative press in the area. If you've met any of our crew then you know that we a bunch of hard workers with a passion to represent the community. Who says Akron/Canton/Cleveland is a miserable place to live? Not us. We have one of the best art scenes around, some of the hardest working musicians on the planet, and really great people to fill in everywhere else.
We put out a new issue on THE FIRST WEDNESDAY OF EVERY MONTH covering the best art and entertainment found in northeast Ohio. We never miss a beat. Wonder why our mag is choked full of advertisers? Because we know what we're doing. We offer full scale marketing for each and every business that comes to us.
