New Indyreader available!

May 16, 2008

Hot off the presses, and available now at Red Emma's and elsewhere around town, issue 8 of the excellent (and free) Indypendent Reader looks at the (sorry) state of transportation in Baltimore.  The exchange between a city official and a former Baltimore transit planner on the proposed Red Line is fantastic, and there's great stuff on the day-to-day experience of riding the MTA from teens involved with Kids on the Hill and the Algebra Project (who incidentally occupied City Hall's lawn for three days this week to demand more funding for peer to peer educational programs), a sweet article on biking in Baltimore by Thoughtworm's Sean Stewart, and lots more. The Indyreader also launched a new website with this issue at indyreader.org, with full back issues available, plus supplementary news reporting from Baltimore's grassroots.
