City Magazine is the complimentary, monthly magazine that Southwest Virginians trust as the most informative source for regional arts, entertainment, events and more. Launched in 1996 by award-winning fashion photographer Karl J. Phillips, from a humble beginning—just 3,000 copies distributed among 100 locations—the publication has since blossomed to become the area’s longest-running and most widely-distributed publication that is locally owned. Today, City serves over 500 locations and boasts a monthly readership of over 60,000 savvy Virginians in Roanoke, Salem, Floyd, Lexington, New River Valley, Botetourt, Rocky Mount, Smith Mountain Lake, Warm/Hot Springs and surrounding areas.
