Sometimes we find a photo in our photo pool that, for whatever reason, just works thematically. This photo of the Grove St. PATH stop, by Eric Harvey Brown (Flickr's "Dogseat") seemed like the perfect photo to pick this week, as two free publications will no longer be available to litter our public space, Exit and yours truly, City Belt. The decision to indefinitely cease the print edition of City Belt was multi-faceted, but mostly involved money, cheese, scrilla, or whatever you want to call it. However, with us freeing up that massive amount we had been using to kill trees each month, we can now focus on improving the site, compensating contributors better, doing more in-depth investigative stories and the like. We decided that, rather than turn into businesspeople and worry about money all the time, we'd rather get back to why we started this -- because we love good journalism.
Now that that's out of the way, enjoy the photo, you crazy kids.
To be featured as Photo of the Week, tag your Flickr photos with CityBelt -- or you can just e-mail them to us.

We'll miss the print publication, but we know it'll be back someday soon! In the meantime, we're looking forward to more of the pathbreaking journalism we've become accustomed to here on the City Belt site.
Keep up the good work!
