Uptown, Downtown was "A Community Based Alternative Lifestyle Publication". Published by Dear Myrna Productions, it contained news, letters to the editor, advice column, shoppers mall, directory, and a wide range of lighter articles.

Started as a bi-weekly (every other week) publication, with Issue No. 5 (January 6, 1994), the publication changed to monthly due to "lack of support of the gay/ lesbian community": very little paid advertising was being purchased. The last known issue was No. 7 (March 10, 1994).
