Etymology of The Magazine's Title
While Devin Poore and Matthew Kressel were walking through the streets of Hoboken in early 2003, trying to come up with a name for the zine, Matthew suggested Sybil's Cave, a Hoboken landmark. Devin replied, in response to the rapid urban sprawl of the area, that "It's probably a garage by now." Thus the name was born. Devin Poore wrote a detailed essay on the creation of the magazine in Sybil's Garage No. 2.
