The Toledo City Paper burst onto the Glass City scene in 1997, bringing a bold new voice to a region that was ready for an alternative. Published weekly through 2008 and biweekly to the present day, the City Paper offers an ever-changing array of timely coverage, from under-the-radar local news stories to insightful arts reporting. Looking to check out a new restaurant that your friends haven't heard of? Want to be clued in to what's happening in local music and theater, or hear the stories of local artists, movers and shakers? The City Paper has kept a finger on the pulse of the community for 15 years now, and our talented writers and designers can show and tell you the best that Toledo has to offer.
