New zine with Oregon Hill coverage coming out soon
I have not seen it yet, but Oregon Hill resident Shawn Jones tells me he will soon be releasing a zine about Oregon Hill. Judging from some of the contributors, it should be interesting.
Hey Ya’ll, I have been compiling a zine about Oregon Hill. Finishing up now and hoping to publish this month. Also, taking last minute contributions through this week if anyone is interested.
Thanks,
Shawn

[...] As promised, Shawn Jones has put the first issue of a zine devoted to Oregon Hill. Its a b/w photocopied affair that’s called ‘Oregon Hill Cats’. In it are features on Oregon Hill history, activist profiles, the story of the Flying Brick library, photos, and poetry. While some of the articles have appeared before elsewhere, it still gives a good compiled view of the neighborhood that hopefully many will appreciate. Its in limited release right now, so you may need to ask around to get your eyeballs on a copy, but surely WBCH, SynerGeo, and Flying Brick will have one.
