the hills, Smile, Hon, You’re in Baltimore! collects the tales of those
on whom Mobtown has left her indelible mark. Polished, professional

time-honored DIY accessibility of a limited-run, handcrafted zine. A
two-time Utne Independent Press Award Nominee, Smile, Hon has also been
dubbed “Best Zine” by Baltimore Magazine (2008) and Baltimore City
Paper (2004). Special theme issues have tackled such subjects as work,
alleyways, sex, rats, and tattoos.
