City Paper publishes its final edition

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- A newspaper that's been a longtime staple of life in Philadelphia has published its final edition.

City Paper, a free publication that's informed residents about music, art, and politics since 1981, is shutting down.

Its owner, Metro US, sold City Paper to Broad Street Media, which owns Philly Weekly.

The final print edition is available Thursday in those familiar orange boxes..
