Looks like there is a new "Culture + Creativity + Lifestyle" online magazine centered around the N4 postcode. What does anyone think about http://www.northfour.co? <div><br></div><div>Personally, I think that every non-article on the site reads like a space-filler in one of the trashy inserts that falls out of the paper and into the bin. What's worse is, I think that they want it to sound like that. I don't think N4 is ready for a lifestyle magazine, yet. Please...</div>

  • I've seen this, and actually been on it a few times to see if there's anything I'm missing in the area (though I've lived around Finsbury Park for four years, I didn't actually realise there was much up Stroud green road till 2 years ago!). It seems very "buzzfeed rejects", but maybe that's being a bit harsh. I've still read some of the articles with a bit of interest. I just imagine they're struggling for material / advertising money.... can't see it lasting too long, as I think it may just be a cv enhancer for whoever writes it. Can't get a job at buzzfeed? Create your own buzzfeed and then show it to them next time you interview!

    very childish publication... sooo cute. Its cleverness is non-existant. something from the snap-chat mob...no depth...blegggh
  • Interested to see this is somehow related to The A Board Dude, who has done some great sign writing in the area http://theaboarddude.tumblr.com<div><br></div><div>The writing on north four? Not so great, sadly.</div>

    Flyers for this today at the Gary Kemp thing. Overheard somebody say that it's funded by Davies and Davies? Which would make sense as that's where I've seen The A Board Dude's work. But I probably misheard as that sounds too bizarre.
  • <p>A Board Dude has been around for ages, he does all the Breakfast Club stuff too.</p>
  • Nice young bunch of people..yes they are upstairs from Davies and Davies and I am sure are funded by them..bigging up the area etc. I thought the writing was quite a bit better than might be expected and often pretty funny.  Oh and they interviewed me so perhaps not an entirely objective opinion ...

    Is it a scheme to get more young people to move into the area?
