Once I had a big crush on a guy for a really long time. All of a sudden he stopped
talking to me for seemingly no reason. Soon thereafter I encountered him in public
while waiting for the G train. We made eye contact and when I was about to say hi,
he ran to the opposite end of the subway platform and hid behind a pillar.

What Weekly ran from 2010 to 2016, documenting Baltimore’s creative culture and helping spark Light City. The Pronoia Effect tells the story of the magazine, the festival that grew from it, and what happened when we lost it all.
