Posted By on Wed, Mar 13, 2013 at 11:19 AM

Namely, that Circle K has decided to start carrying this thing you see to the right, instead of our publication, at newsstands.

AZ Weekly is a free, Phoenix-based magazine that covers exactly what you'd expect: Phoenix events. Which, as I'm sure you're thinking, is exactly what denizens of Southern Arizona can't get enough of.

Heading to that page will take you to an interactive map we've set up to help you find issues of Tucson Weekly at our red boxes all over town — and while you're there, you may want to consider patronizing some of those establishments for supporting local journalism. It's a win for everyone involved!

Thus, if you've got beef with Circle K, feel free to Tweet with the #CircleKProblems hashtag. We'll be doing so throughout the day, for as long as we damn well please.

Let it out, Tucson. We have:
