After 28 Years, Lifestyle Magazine The Improper Bostonian Closes
After 28 years of publication, Boston's lifestyle magazine The Improper Bostonian is shutting down, effective immediately, according to its publisher.
The announcement was made in a statement posted to the magazine's website by publisher Wendy Semonian Eppich.
"While this news might be surprising, the company has had a great run and we're hopefully leaving this incredible city better and brighter since our inception in 1991," she wrote.
Eppich, who became the publisher in 2003, also thanked everyone involved with the magazine, saying current and past staffers' "fingerprints have left a lasting impression on The Improper brand."
"Thank you for picking us up every two weeks and putting us on your coffee tables—or in recent years, for also clicking on our website," she added. "It has been a pleasure to entertain, inspire, inform and amuse you. Our staff was always delighted when you shared your love and passion for the brand. Your feedback gave us a lot of pride in what we did and motivated us to continue doing it."
The statement was also shared on Facebook where readers left comments about the magazine's shuddering.
The Improper Bostonian was founded by Eppich's brother Mark Semonian and published 24 issues a year, according to Boston.com. The publication featured a number of celebrities on its covers over the years, including local figures and national names.
