I need your help.

I know this is something that I can google, but I wanted to get an opinion from people who actually live in these places.

What is your local equivalent of Gambit Weekly or Offbeat Magazine?

Edited: Meant to post this link to US alternative papers (many weeklies), but got carried away as below. Ahem.

FYI, not really your question, just for fun:
Champaign-Urbana, Illinois: used to be The Octopus, seems to have defunct online link
Madison, Wisconsin: The Isthmus
Vancouver, British Columbia: The Georgia Straight (Wikipedia entry)

I love Creative Loafing. I had no idea it had "cousins" in other cities.

Athens, GA: Flagpole (Perhaps the best alternative newspaper I've ever read)
