HOLIDAY ISSUE- DEADLINE FOR ARTICLE & ADVERTISING SUBMISSIONS IS NOVEMBER 18th, 2018

October 10, 2018 By Pstreet News

My final issue of 2018 is fast approaching. As I mull over the final edits for our October issue, I’m realizing Just how close the holidays are, with Thanksgiving come & gone, treat or treaters nearly near, and “our Christmastime” almost here.

Whichever way you, your family and friends choose to celebrate the “Holidays”, let’s all try to remember; Shopping online is great, but let’s all do our very best to SHOP LOCAL as much as possible! Our dedicated businesses in Cabbagetown, some new, some that have been around longer than I, we need to “support local & tote local”. Let’s fly the Cabbagetown flag this Holiday Season.

Please be in touch in early November so we can discuss specs & pricing, or even specific page you’d like to secure for 2019! Our next issue deadline is November 18th- please try to have ‘editorial’ in prior to deadline day as the Holiday issues it’s is already filling up fast.
