All about Ron...now with video!!!

The other day, I posted about my alternate life as Ron Orp. Still want to know more about this devilish ladies' man, and Zurich's kulest places?

Ron Orp shines a rosier light on Langstrasse
by Amy Wong
Zurich has a lot to offer, but it’s hard to find those out-of-the-way places not mentioned in the tourist guides—the ones where the music is good, the food is cheap and the locals all seem to know each other. Difficult, unless of course you subscribe to Ron Orp’s Mail. It started with only a hundred subscribers in 2004, and now it’s the most popular electronic newsletter in the country with 50,000 subscribers in 10 cities. Christine Zimmerli, who edits the English version of the Zurich newsletter, took WRS video journalist Amy Wong on a tour of a few of Ron’s favourite places in the often-misunderstood neighbourhood of Langstrasse (or Long Street) in District 4. This red light district usually makes the papers for its drugs and prostitution, but it’s also full of colourful immigrant communities, independent artists and cool young professionals making it the “Brooklyn” of Zurich.
