The Clog is dead. Long live Naked City!
What the hell is going on with The Clog? Answers here.
First: City Paper's website is not dead, it's just broken. And it's being fixed. We really hope. Readers may find broken links and missing content. The best we can tell you right now is to keep trying, give it a little time, and email us if and when you experience difficulty or desperately need to read our amazing content.
Believe you us, we don't like it either.
As for the sudden disappearance of "The Clog," we offer this bedtime tale:
Once upon a time, there was an alternative newsweekly whose content only appeared on "paper" — a fabric made from the mashed, dried tree pulp.
Something called the Internet came along and, though the weekly found this Internet attractive and full of alluring possibilities, the weekly wasn't sure just how to approach starting up a relationship with it.
Looking around, the weekly noticed that a lot of other weeklies seemed to be starting "blogs," and hastened to start one itself. Having little experience in the matter, it began shoving content of every sort into a single blog which it named, appropriately, "The Clog."
Over time, the Clog gave birth to other blogs with their own identity: Critical Mass, and arts and entertainment blog and Mealticket, a food blog.
The Clog itself slowly morphed into the weekly's daily (sometimes) online news presence.
But it still had that same old name: The Clog.
When the weekly — okay, it's the City Paper — had its website overhauled this week, its editors thought it high time to give the Clog a better name, one that reflected its purpose and ambition. So we've renamed it "The Naked City," — the same name as our weekly "print" news section.
That's right: in one fell swoop we've broken down the barrier between web and print — for everyone, for eternity. Something like that, anyway.
It's going to take us a little while yet to get things going, but we see this as a chance to start providing better and more news of the great city of Philadelphia — and we define 'news' broadly: feral chicken stories, breaking scandals, investigative reporting, even more pictures Mayor Nutter and a chiuaua in birthday hats.
What's our RSS feed, you ask? It ... doesn't exist or something. But it will. In the meantime, just check in here.
We beg your patience.
