The City Paper
 |
| Cover Design | Reseca Glasser |
In the past, we've ascribed to the thousand-points-of-light approach to the best of issue. Name as many things — good or bad — as you can, come up with a crazy theme, and let the praise (and disses) fly.
This year was a little different. If you'll allow me to quote myself:
This wasn't a normal year.
We just couldn't wrap it up with a normal 'City Paper' Choice issue.
In the past, our annual celebration of the best of the city featured page after page of short, clever bursts of praise — little bits of cinnamon, as a friend once called it — for just about every single thing that tickled our fancy in a given year.
Not this year. Not anymore.
We sought out the people with Big Visions, making big strides not only for themselves but for the city. You can read about how we chose our 12 Visionaries and who they are starting right here.
Yo! We're looking for City Paper editorial interns (for both A&E and news) for the fall. The Thursday, August 13 application deadline is tomorrow, so get crackin'. Read all the details after the jump.

We've got some explaining to do. Last month, the Arts Agenda section vanished from the paper. It didn't even leave a note. At the same time, the listings for galleries, museums, readings/book signings and performing arts suddenly started appearing in the Agenda section.
So what gives? Arts Agenda and Agenda got married. (Actually, I guess you'd call it "eloping," since they did it slyly.) It makes sense if you think about it — before, it was unclear why there was both an Arts section and an Arts Agenda section. Now there's only one. And besides, they didn't even have to change last names when they got married.
But I'm done anthropomorphizing newspaper sections. The important point here is that there are often fewer listings in the print version of City Paper than before. Sometimes you may not see "Adults, etc." or "Volunteers" in print — but they will always, always be available online at citypaper.net/agenda_search. I thought that most people knew about our online listings, but then I got inundated with e-mails from people who thought we had flushed them down the toilet. We haven't, so please let your friends who aren't Internet heads know: They'll always be alive and well right here on the Web.
