Since I started this blog, I’ve been meaning to continually write basically mini reviews of some of our area magazines and literature soon after a new issue hits the newsstands.

In many respects, the writers of these publications voice opinions and insight on and about the Roanoke area much in the same way I attempt to do with Noke News.

City Magazine

From articles on dining to art to retail this monthly publication covers a wide variety of lifestyle and leisure topics pertaining to the greater Roanoke area.

And, it’s free, too.

There are metal stands with the magazine on multiple corners in and around downtown Roanoke, and I believe I’ve also seen the publication other areas, such as Montano’s International Gourmet restaurant on Franklin Road.

I’ll post when the next issue comes out (in about 2 weeks).
