Alt-Weekly Campaigns to Expose Daily's Restaurant Reviewernew
Nathaniel Glen ... it's got a nice ring to it, but it's just the pseudonym being used by The Gazette of Colorado Springs' new restaurant critic. Now the Colorado Springs Independent is working to lift his veil of anonymity, running two articles criticizing the pseudonym and hinting at his identity in the form of rhymes and anagrams, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. The critic chose to work under an assumed name because he was already a staffer at the paper and his real identity was known. "But a person's byline doesn't make that person known to everyone in the community," says Ralph Routon, the Indy's executive editor. "We use several reviewers whose names are well known and their ability to do their job has never been compromised."

Boise Faux-Alt Ceases to Existnew
The McClatchy-owned and Idaho Statesman-operated free weekly known as Thrive (nee Thr!ve) has printed its last issue, New West Boise reports. Thrive editor David Parker and some staffers will remain at the Statesman, he says in a farewell note. Thrive, which competed with AAN member Boise Weekly, began in October 2002 as one of a few tests in different markets by Gannett (the paper's original owner), which wanted to see if such faux-alts could flourish, according to New West. MORE: Boise Weekly offers its take on Thrive's demise: "No more fun, fun, fun articles about local sports enthusiasts. Gone are the always-positive restaurant advertorials."

Portland Mercury Wins Cross-Town Softball Battlenew
Despite vows by Willamette Week that they'd "beat the living shit" out of their cross-town rivals' softball team, the Merc prevailed for the second year in a row on Sunday, by a score of 11-8. "It was another great Sunday in the world of sports," writes the Mercury's Wm. Steven Humphrey. "The WW has really improved since last year, and made a strong showing with numerous hits and good fielding, but ultimately it was the surgical style of the Mercury that won the day." AAN members: we know that many of you have softball squads hitting the diamond this summer. Feel free to report successes, failures and box scores to jwhiten (at) aan.org.
