Long live the Washington City Paper
The Washington Post Magazine last weekend had a great story about D.C.'s alternative weekly, the Washington City Paper. Apparently, the paper is struggling financially with the loss of advertising revenues. I hope that its owners, Creative Loafin', can figure things out.
What I love about the City Paper is its coverage of District Governor. How can you not love the Loose Lips column? Remember "Lips" dubbed Barry "Mayor for Life".
About Me
JohnHello and welcome to StoryWorks. I'm John and this is my little corner of the Web.
In "East of Eden", John Steinbeck wrote, "If the story is not about the hearer, he will not listen. And here I make a rule -- a great and interesting story is about everyone or it will not last."
I think that Steinbeck guy was onto something. That's why I'm sharing these stories.
Through words, images and sounds, these storytellers, storyworkers if you will, caught my attention. In some cases they captured my imagination.
Let me know if their stories resonate with you, too. I hope so.
