The Philadelphia Independent was one of my favorite things about living in Philly - its enormous spread, its amazing diagrams, and its incredible stories about the city. I have a few editions yellowing on my bookshelf (someone remind me to scan these someday before they turn to dust) - and I always wonder how this wonderful publication could have gone under...their website is still up, a dusty relic of when the paper was running full steam (in cahoots with Space 1026). Check it - I love that pigeon. Love is an understatement. Damn.
