Grid Philly - March 2009 - (Page 4) Word on the street just wanted to write and say that I am very very impressed with your prototype magazine and this is exactly what I would like to see as far as communicating about sustainable living issues in Philadelphia. The design is great and accessible and not overly hyped on the green wave, so to speak, which I appreciate, as we are bombarded every day with more and more “green marketing” schemes. Thank you again for starting this magazine and I look forward to the issues! stephanie chiorean I have read the two Grid editions thus far. As an urban dweller and greener, I must tell you this is a great magazine. I’m telling everyone to get a copy for themselves. The articles are informative without being preachy—the one on digital inclusion should be a ‘must read.’ The column by Mark Alan Hughes is important because we have to get the word out that we have an Office of Sustainability. I wish you all the best! susan m. pringle I must say that I wasn’t thoroughly engaged in the promotional issue, but this first issue has hit the nail on the head. Kudos for offering well written articles with a local emphasis that don’t treat me like a child or assume I’m a sustainability expert. I’ve only gotten half way through this issue and decided to become a subscriber. Looking forward to reading this one cover to cover and getting the next. martin brown I was perusing City Paper over the weekend, and I read the article featuring Grid. When I came home from work, I immediately downloaded the first issue, and I love it. I am especially looking forward to the Food Issue slated for next year. Counterculture food movements are actually the focus of my senior thesis, and I am quite voraciously collecting everything I can find about them—not only for my paper, but for my personal education, too. maddie chera What a great publication: I am an instant-fan. More importantly, the resources really have staying power, and I’ll be keeping it around for future referencing. ned rauch-mannino I just heard about you guys via a friend and I’m excited to see you featuring bike-sharing on your prototype cover, which is something that I’m definitely excited about seeing develop in our city I just downloaded the first issue and it looks great! Although, speaking of that cover—it did strike me that it seems that every person piled on the bike in that illustration looks pretty white white white I’m not a hardcore political-correctness diversity propaganda kind of person, but for a real focus on sustainability, you’re going to need to appeal to a broader demographic than the eco-chic caucasian crowd. jacques-jean tiziou Need to get something off your chest?
