St. Louis Magazine is an amazing monthly publication that highlights what makes St. Louis so great…read more I have been a subscriber for years and have never once thought about canceling my subscription. The magazine covers a wide variety of topics such as dining, culture, and lifestyle all with well written commentaries. Some of the other notable things are the events and best of lists, which make it convenient to keep track of all those places you need to check out. If you are looking to find out what is hip and happening in Saint Louis, this magazine will has you covered. Overall this is a great magazine that promotes and highlights everything that Saint Louis has to offer.

I finally gave in and subscribed to the St. Louis Magazine, which obviously is a magazine about all…read morethings St. Louis. It's pretty good, but there are just some issues that are very commercialized. It's very good in letting readers know what is new, hip, and happening, and very informative on what is current in regards to the St. Louis scene. However, some of the issues are very commercialized: such as the physician issue and the lawyer issue. The top people in the field are picked by their peers so there is a little of the "old-boy networking" schmoozing thing going on. They don't hide that though. What bothers me more is the huge advertising section that follows it. The magazine itself is very interesting, and I think promotes St. Louis very well.

Many larger cities have these weekly newspapers that focus on very local news and information with…read morea few syndicated columns. Political columns tend to lean towards "progressive" and "liberal" which I'm not objecting to, just pointing it out. You'll find articles about the local arts and entertainment scene including which performers are coming to town and which venues have new exhibits. As well, which restaurants are offering interesting takes and meals with some quite detailed reviews. I enjoyed reading up and figuring out where I'd be heading for my next fabulous meal. Or even better, seeing if the RFT reviewer agreed with my own review! The newspaper is free and you'll find display copies here and there throughout town.

There's always a weekly restaurant review to introduce you to the new or reintroduce you to the old. There's features on upcoming festivals or events (the pull out a few weeks ago was "Summertime in St. Louis" - awesome!) And the price is right.

Not sure if they're trying to grab some of the bum or lush market. Maybe both. But if you're walking to a Cardinals day game, I'm sure it will come in handy 2) Magazines - this isn't just your regular selection of tabloid and "big" news weeklies. They probably have at least two hundred different titles covering a variety of subjects. And yes, they have a plethora of porn as well. I guess if you picked that up on your way to a Cards game, well, you're a pervert. Shame on you! 3) The Chalkboard of Life - OK, I came up with that name, but there's a chalkboard by the register where they write various horoscopesque types of things ("on the 26th, spend time with your friends"). Of course, they're located in downtown St. Louis, so they close at 6:00 PM and are not open on weekends. And their prices have that "Downtown markup" so I can't give them 4 stars.

I usually pick this magazine up every month--hey, it's free! It usually deems a flip-through, but…read moreI've never been really impressed with the content. It is a nice-looking magazine with a modern design and glossy pages. About half of the magazine is "society pages" of some kind--pictures of "It" people at parties, that kind of thing. Which is fine, but not that interesting unless you are in that circle of people. The rest of the magazine is based on style, fashion, weddings and what is current. The cover is usually a "celebrity" that is from St. Louis or is somehow prominent in the St. Louis area. They have had some decent covers, like Jim Edmonds. I have to be honest and say I don't recognize most of the people featured, but it's nice that they keep the focus on St. Louis.
