The idea for this publication blossomed when a few friends and I were sick of trying to find
something to do one weekend and looking through the local paper was of no help. We decided a
paper that would cater to the Bars, Restaurants and entertainment industry for the Small Town
neighborhoods would probably work. The Smalltown Lowdown is what became of this.
If you own your own business then you know how bad advertising sucks for how much it costs.
Why advertise in a newspaper that someone is going to pick up and read once and throw away.
If you are looking at this then you probably were already in a bar or restaurant, so if your advertising wants to hit that dempgraphic then it will.
We don’t want to be a big news paper that is filled with world events, just a small publication to
help the small Mom & Pop businesses in the local area. We will try and keep the articles short
and sweet and often controversial, but in a good way. We are not trying to deliberately piss
anyone off, but maybe give you something to talk about at the bar tonight or at the water cooler
tomorrow when you should be working. If something we do pisses you off, let us know. We want
your feedback. We aim not to offend, but to make you think. Nothing is worthless if it at least
causes you to think about it.
We will also try and fill every issue with fun pictures from the local area hot spots. Look for our
photographers when you are out and try not to get caught in any discriminating shots. Feel free
to grab a few issues to show your friends that you’re in the paper. Let us know if you have anything
special going on that we should know about and we’ll send someone out to cover it. Hopefully
this will be fun for all of us because we all know how short life is and how bad work sucks.
We are now here to bring you everything that is anything. From concerts to benefits to just
about anything else that is going on, we are there. If you want us to be somewhere, let us know
and we will do our best. Please feel free to tell us your ideas. We are here to bring our audience
what they want, not what the other media thinks they want to hear!
Hope you enjoy the Smalltown Lowdown.
