In print and online, Indy Week is the free weekly newspaper for the Triangle area. Formerly the…read moreIndependent Weekly but no more since 2012, it's a tabloid-format newspaper for Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill and Cary. Available for pickup at more than 500 locations in the Raleigh Durham area, the circulation runs at around 200,000 according to the website. News, arts, music, food, events, this paper is plugged in to what's happening locally. I can't recall where I found my copy but I did manage to enjoy it. Interesting news about the area, specifically the "death-positivity movement" was an amusing read. And they have a crossword. That's awesome. Letters to the editor, classifieds, and a guide to the best of the Triangle. I'm a fan! [Review 12277 overall, 2061 of 2019.]

They're independent, sure, but that doesn't mean everything they report on involves hemp. I like the Independent because it's thoroughly useful. There really isn't a page in the thing that doesn't have some sort of relevant report on what's going on around me, particularly in regards to concerts and other entertainment. Any time I've said in another review to keep your eye on something, this is a good tool for doing just that, they're extremely well connected. The one exception to this are their reviews, which I often take issue with... Unless you have strong past experience to go on, don't trust their opinions on movies and shows, chances are you'll disagree.

My first visit to Bull City Arts Collaborative (BCAC) was a little disappointed. Steve A. and I…read morestumbled upon the shop during our first Third Friday experience, where the doors were open but no one was interacting with patrons. Not a deal breaker, but there were also no refreshments or beverages offered like most of the Third Friday participants. I really felt no reason to return in the future. HOWEVER, fast forward to a spontaneous visit during a Saturday Farmers Market and my opinion of the studio has gone up. Although there was still no one to interact with us while viewing the small gallery at the front of the shop, I enjoyed the artwork and information available to visitors. BCAC is an "arts and creative professional alliance comprised of three studios." A documentary film and video production studio called The Groove Productions; a graphic design, fine press publishing, and letterpress printing shop called Horse & Buggy Press; and a fine art and portrait photography studio called Marthanna Yater. These three studios offer commissioned work and retail artworks in their own variety of media. They also regularly have rotating artists in the "Upfront Gallery" in the space, open to the public Thursday and Friday afternoons and Saturday mornings as well as every Third Friday from 6-9pm. The exhibits change every month and are comprise of everything from photography, sculpture and pottery to letterpress work and even custom pillows and bags. I recommend stopping by if you're in the area, but I wouldn't go out of the way to visit. Also, since it's a little out of the way of most of the Third Friday vendors, I wouldn't put it on my "must hit" list.
