It’s probably one of those free weeklies full of personal ads, staffed by j-schoolers and itinerant poets.
Sometimes you can get a decent restaurant review out of such pubs, though. In my neck of the woods, the outwardly-liberal “Stranger” has better journalism than the “P-I”, because the Stranger admits its bias upfront, while the Pravda-Izvestia still thinks it’s a mainstream Fourth Estate.
I know what you mean. We’ve got one here called CityPages. It’s well to the left of the Star Tribune, but they don’t claimed to be a balanced so I don’t mind. They’ve got awesome restaurant reviews. They used to have a personals section called “The Wild Side”, it was hilarious to read.
