A Cheer for my Favorite Alternative Weekly

[NashVegas]

Metroland Magazine, of the (sm)Albany, NY area. Over 15 years ago, Metroland turned me onto progressive issues and personalities, like:

Organic farming
HRT link to cancer (over 10 years before the mainstream confirmed it)
Global Trade/ NAFTA/ GATT
Chomsky
HIV not necessarily the *cause* of AIDS controversy


and too many other topics to name. I've been away from Albany and living in Nashville for 10 years, and our weekly, The Scene, has beautifully written stories about issues with little to no relevance, even with the Village Voice as a publisher.

Stephen Leon, if you're an evil DUer, thanks for turning me on.


What are the other great, lesser heralded ones?
