It seems that the folks over at the Washington City Paper have made good on what has become a yearly resolution — to play catch-up with the rest of online world.

Late Friday the City Paper debuted its brand new website, the second overhaul in as many years. While last year’s upgrades were meant to bring the weekly’s online presence out of the late 1990s, this year’s round of fixes has brought about a more attractive and fully functional site. Probably the most notable change, though, is that the paper’s archives dating back to 1995 are now free, brought out from beyond the long-hated pay-to-read barrier.

Congrats, City Paper. The site looks snazzy.
