The Land Line is a quarterly publication based in Chicago invested in furthering print publication. It is a collaborative effort by a collection of artists, writers, activists, and musicians who contribute literary criticism, Chicago history, and various explorations of style and genre. The Land Line is committed to a collective production process, including laying out the paper by hand so that everyone can be involved. The benefit shows, film screenings, and readings they host not only fund the paper but are essential to the project of building a community around the journal.

This is Cholo magazine, an amalgamation of the people and projects in this city that are so cool, we think you should be cholos with them. (And by cholos, we mean pals.) Gracing the pages of this rag are the mugs of moonshine-makers, guerrilla tour guides, community orgnizers, vertical farmers and punk filmmakers. It's basically DIY porn.
