All of those empty orange b boxes and racks around town will soon be full - with the first issue of b, the paper.
If you haven’t seen a b box yet and are wondering where you can pick up a free copy of the paper starting Monday, we’ve cooked up a simple Google Maps mashup of all the locations around the Baltimore area.
Just go to bthesite.com/locations and enter your zip code for a display of the locations convenient to you.

The b really needs to find a way of showing that they are on their side. It can be a little condescending.
I'd love to see more ***interviews*** with young professionals. If I want to hear peoples voices, the classic Q&A is very straight forward, you hear things in their own words. It's a very easy read to see "B: Question here / YP: Answere here". And in the process I bet the people behind the B will learn a lot about their target audience and what we're really interested in.
That seems to be part of the point making this thing an easy read and having a voice in the community. I mean, young people .... we're activists, workers, trying to change the world.
Also, did anyone consider how hard it is to google the b? Because that's how we find things these days.
