Stop and shop magazine

A new shop demonstrates the global resurgence of indie magazines. Critique by Rick Poynor Jeremy Leslie’s appetite for magazines is really something. ‘We love magazines’, it says on the front of his magCulture shop, which opened in December 2015, and I believe him. He spent years designing magazines, which he still does, and then in 2000 came his first book, Issues: New Magazine Design, followed three years later by magCulture – a perfect coinage and the seed of a brand. His magCulture.com website, launched in February 2006, became an essential news source for magazine insiders and obsessives, and he added magazine conferences to his roster of magazine-friendly projects, as well as further books and publications. Has anyone done more, in recent years, to champion the cause and embody the ideal of the inventively designed magazine? The magCulture shop in London, wedged between Regency Food & Wine and a fast food place on St John Street, is the final element in what shows every sign of being a carefully managed plan. The magazine gods must have wanted this to happen because under the grungy floor covering of the former newsagent he has taken over, Leslie discovered a hidden terrazzo floor, which looks expensive and stylish in a not-trying-too-hard, indie kind of way.

Purveyors of fear on the unsuspecting youths. But just like in any good horror film, the tables were about to be turned again. Out of nowhere, a blinding light appeared in our rear view mirrors and we all screamed in terror. The initial flash was followed by an array of other blue and red lights.Apparently, it’s illegal in the state of NJ to drive with your headlights off. The police officer reprimanded us and the other youths. He told them to “Stop looking for the Atco ghost,” and turned to my friend in the driver’s seat and said, “And you…stop being such a dildo!”We received no ticket, and though we are sure that this event was only the product of local resident’s frustrations against people wandering into their neighborhood, we’d like to believe that this was just another small trick perpetrated by a long departed child with a good sense of humor. –Kevin Watkins An audio story told by Mark Moran with sound collage by Clay Pigeon.
