Guided by event-driven editorial in popular urban destinations, Until Monday is an online community for locals...and visitors who want to know places as well as locals do. The site aims to capture the cultural life of certain communities: events, characters, shopping, art, dining.

The project attempts to capture the life of the culture of a place. For people who love where they are or where they plan to visit, Until Monday aims to be an online destination that reflects the appreciation they have of a place. If a physical place is rich and dynamic, it follows that the online community that serves it ought to be as well.

Wrapped into Until Monday are a series of community building and content delivery tools that blur the line between blogs and more fully-featured online media experiences. The tools aim to help users do more things with content they find interesting and helpful: subscribe to it, bookmark it, talk with others about it, and find out more about the people they're talking to.

The motivation is to create hyperlocal experiences that are cool--that feel less like homework and more like the places they're about," Johnson said. "As local newspaper circulation and influence declines, people are looking for new local media relationships. That's the opportunity we see. We want to become a part of people's everyday local lives."

Popular blogger and Vice President of Six Apart, Anil Dash said of Until Monday, "It's a beautiful community-based events site that's as attractive as it is useful." Mena Trott, Six Apart's Co-Founder, said "the user interface just feels good to click around in."
