Ottawa Xpress
Our pal Raymaker (and bandmate) founded it. Now some other guys have run it out of existence. Sucks.

They really dumbed it down. No, really dumb. Time was when Xpress would have some actual journalism. The big news is that apt613 is really really taking off and doesn’t need an ad budget.
Yep….find something that works and is successful. Buy it from the originators, and begin to make changes. (isn’t that what happened to the Liberals after Chretien?)
Yeah…that always ends well.
That really blows… I’ve moved away from Ottawa for almost 10 years now, but as a teenager in Ottawa, I couldn’t wait for Thursdays when the new edition of the Xpress would be released. As a fairly sheltered kid at the time, it complimented my ascendency into adulthood really well.
That was the Raymaker era. When he left, the thing went into the ditch.
