After several calls & situation not improved, I had them change delivery location to my home. For some reason, I don't get the paper delivered until Friday. And I requested delivery to my front door, yet in the 2 wks I've been getting the paper, it has been tossed into the middle of my driveway. I tried calling the office today - several times and all I get is a voice saying "who's calling" and then total silence. Nothing happens, so I'm not even able to reach them.

Cleveland Magazine has always been the magazine for me - I enjoyed it beginning with the first…read moreissue, first ever published years ago. I picked it up at the newsstand, and later began my year-after-year subscription. I am, kind of a collector of the magazine. However, I recently ran into a very impersonal, unexpected experience, starting with the Subscription Service for Cleveland Magazine, a contracted service (800-453-1009). At the end of December, 2023, I requested the December copy - which was weeks over due in the mail. The representative for Subscription Services said they didn't have an issue to send me because "they get their copies two months or later from the issue date from the publisher." I was told they would add a month to my subscription and I should contact them next year (2024) around March or April! That's the most ridiculous response I every heard from a subscription service. I waited several days and contacted the service again - this time another rep responded: "We don't have the December issue and probably won't get any copies." Frustrated I contacted Dillon Steward, editor of Cleveland Magazine, via his email. No response. I guess my problem, as a very dedicated subscriber, was not of interest to him. I waited several weeks. I sent another e-mail to the group that works under the umbrella of the editorial group at Cleveland Magazine. No response. Last I heard, subscribers to any publication are difficult to acquire . . . .and keep as subscribers (renewals). They are the best, most profitable subscribers. And when they continue to subscribe, year after year, they become the gold group. But the troops at Cleveland Magazine don't seem to care. R. Siedlecki rcsbooks1@gmail.com

The "hot" write-ups of bands or new restaurants are usually about three months too late. Half of the issues like Rating the Suburbs and Best Doctors are extremely boring and the same every year. The best one has to be Cleveland's Hottest Singles. It's usually the cute weatherperson dujour(who soon leave town after receiving this coveted accolade) or ex-pat semi-star who doesn't really live here anymore. Half of the ads are for plastic surgeons and the real estate section is all mansions. Gee, who is their target audience? Oh, yeah, Joe 12 Pack who has season tix in the Dawg Pound. Yeahhh...sure. On rare occasions, they will drop some Clevey history on my ass. But most of the stuff is pretty common knowledge. I guess the reason i always look through it is to be surprised. I'm still waiting. I do approve of them not having much of a political agenda. That wouldn't really belong in the rag anyway. I think they need to cover more local architecture and profile some bands beyond a one paragraph blurb. Try to beat the crappy Scene at their own game. I guess i mean it needs to be edgier. Sure, they'll likely lose their core audience of Westlake McMansion winter snowbird never drive into an ethnic neighborhood go to NYC to spend all their money ass clowns. But they could gain so much more in return. As the magazine with the town's name in the title and the most prestigious spot in the book store/grocery store, it needs to be better. By the way, I love the crime stats in Rating the Suburbs. Lakewood had sixty armed robberies while Bay Village had five scraped knees last year.
