The LampLighter is Cooper-Young's neighborhood newspaper. Our monthly publication strives to help our community become a better place to work, live, learn and play. We try to report the important stories. We want to tell our readers who their neighbors are, what changes are occurring in the neighborhood, when public meetings that affect our community are held and where new businesses are locating. We hope that having this information will encourage our community to get involved and start making CY the best community it can be.

Please take a moment to read our current issue. All previous issues are located in the LampLighter archives. If you have any comments or questions, please contact us at lamplighter@cooperyoung.org.

We value our relationship with our advertisers. Support from local business in Cooper Young and Midtown helps the LampLighter to effectively communicate important news to our community. And, in turn, we encourage our readers to support local businesses. If you are interested in our rates, click here.
