As other Yelpers have reported, it is SO hard to cancel a subscription once they have your credit card! There is no way to cancel on-line or during the weekend. You have to call M-F during business hours, which I did, from work. 5 minutes I spent telling the lady "I need to cancel my subscription. No more. End this subscription. Do not charge my credit card." She kept stating the same script, "You are are valued subscriber..." and trying to convince me to keep subscribing. Offering deals. Something about a charity. I forget since I just kept saying, "I'm at work, I don't have time!! Please just tell me that you will cancel my subscription and won't charge my credit card!!" Finally she agreed and confirmed she would end my subscription. That said, I do appreciate the Tribune's in-depth coverage, local articles, photography, spirts, crossword puzzle, and Sunday coupons. So I would have given the Trib 4 stars if they weren't so aggressive with the subscription bit.

No, that is not a mistake, I do not put in to many zero's. They are charging any of you delivery customers $9.00 per day for delivery. I called to make sure that was not a mistake and No, it was not. If you get delivery service, you might want to reconsider.

#64/2016 Before the…read moreinvasion of the British press that upped the ante for celebrity news and Star magazine went glossy, mainstream and you didn't have to wear a bag over your head to buy it, People Weekly was it. People was the only game in town plus it gave you pieces on normal folks who overcame tragedy/inspired you/made you feel somewhat saintly for buying the magazine. People being weekly seemed fresh and current many years ago but in this 24/7 news cycle, almost everything on its pages has been seen and reported on long before it hits the stands. (And in its attempt not to play in the dirt with other magazines, it's become the fawning mouthpiece for every PR flack in NY and LA.) Yawn. For way juicier, more current and free celebrity news go to dailymail.co.uk or agcwebpages.com for inside and well-vetted celebrity scoop. PS Janet Jackson, that won't be her baby but it will be family, that's all I'm sayin' lol.

Through satire you often unveil the truth better than any other form of reporting! [I've always appreciated your video shorts: Take your daughter to War day and First Female East Timor Dictator Hailed as Step Forward for Women, as well as all things related to your fictional presidential candidate, Joad Cressbeckler are among my all time favorites]. This new piece concerning the outrageous atrocities going on today and our government's unwillingness to do anything about it is an important piece that I hope will help effect change. Well done!

I get their emails and I read their articles and can't believe that people are clever enough to write these stories. And I can't believe that people are stupid enough to believe that they're true.

Inner Workings... Not so much. I went in to get some DVD's burned. I expressed I needed them before a certain day because they needed to be mailed. Sales guy told me it was totally doable. So we get close to the deadline and I write him he tells me my order us delayed because the production facility in St. Charles or Iowa (it doesn't matter... Jesus lost his gym shoes out there) lost power and my order isn't most likely going to make it by deadline. Why do I have to contact him to find this out? What ever happend to proactive customer service? Anyway I tell the guy I am not happy and he has them pushed through as a rush order. He tells me they will be delivered but its going to be a Saturday delivery. This makes me happy. But I expressed I am not paying Saturday rates as this is their mess up. He agreed and then asked for an address and assured me I'd have my disks that Saturday... Well Saturday comes... Nothing. Same with Sunday and then Monday. They were never delivered. Tuesday I finally get the Dvds... And then Thursday I get the bill. I was charged as much shipping as the actual order! Now I'm pissed. I write the guy and he tells me he doesn't know what happend and he will look into it. Time goes by and nothing I have to reach out and express I would like my shipping cost refunded. He tells me it takes UPS or Fed-Ex a month for disputed orders... Come on, just write me a check here... This isn't a court appeal... You messed up. So I write him after a month and ask... No initial response. I feel like they don't check emails at this place or they are crazy understaffed. He finally writes back and says he hasn't heard... Aka he was praying I was going to go away. So I give it some time and write again... Saying he's being unprofessional and this is so one-sided. He tells me he'd look into it again. Two days later I get a message sayin he has $50 cash and asks me how I want to get it. Get it? Either you are writing me a check or hand delivering it to my work! I am not going to spend money to go pick up my own money... A month goes by and still no money. He has canceled the drop off or delivery of the money twice. Saying he was sick and then he had something come up. I finally told him to mail the money.... Well see how fast I get this cash... I bet this sales guy is taking it out of his own checking and hoping I go away....NOPE! This place while they do good work is a customer service NIGHTMARE! I will never use them again.

Decent free magazine that you can find just about anywhere in Chicago. It covers music, movies and…read moresuch. There are reviews for restaurants, new music and movies as well. It definitely seems to want to draw in the urban hipsters but seems to be a bit stale in doing a solid job of it. The hipsters probably read something else anyway since pretty much everyone knows that the Chicago Tribune also puts out this little magazine. I noticed Redeye also put out a movie newspaper which was also free. It covered new releases but overall that newspaper was pretty much just full of ads with just a small movie section. Not my first choice on magazines but it is free so what the hell, I pick it up anyway.

The paper's several pages are fulled with articles regarding some of the great neighborhood functions and events. There is always great articles of everything from peoples birthdays to little league pictures.

In times that most papers are hurting and slowing down, the bridgeport news has kept their pages full of articles, business advertisements and classifieds. It's nice to see they are now even on the internet.

Submitting editorial pieces, advertsing, or announcements is so easy. You just stop by the office with the content that you want and a small fee. It almost felt like a school paper.

I was looking for Chicago music news. Trying to find a single source that talks just about…read moreChicago-centric things in the music. Came across this magazine a while back and still amazed they are not more known. They are pretty cool because they talk about not only my friends local band, but major acts that come through town too. They are crazy diverse. One article will be an interview with someone from Ministry and the next a review on Laura Marling. And I have yet to see a story on any flavor of the month bands. When I want to find out about music events happening around town, I don't have to wade through a ton of crap articles about food or gossip. They get to the point. What I really like about In The Loop Magazine is how they are apparently still independent and real. They are not filtered or censored -yet anyway. Love reading the original stories they do, although I wish they'd do more. Love the events calendar and how I can sync with it. The website is really clean, lots of stuff to read about, easy to navigate, cool videos and interviews I've never seen anywhere else again, including my friend local band. Not often you find somewhere that talks about the locals and the nationals. I love anything Chicago especially the Chicago music scene. These guys and gals get it. Nice job everyone! You've got me hooked! I'll stay in the loop with ya!

Full disclosure - -a million billion years ago, I sold ads for this publication and my shop has…read morereceived ongoing editorial mention. I love local media! Whenever I am out of town I pick up whatever free weekly publication is available and refer to it for the skinny on arts and entertainment events. Newcity, a free news and arts weekly, is one of the last local papers published here in Chicago, and has been published every week for about twenty years. With so many titles owned and edited by large national companies, Newcity's quiet and consistent coverage of what's really going in our fine town is always a pleasure to read. Their gallery section is the most comprehensive in the city, and their film reviews are always top notch. They also publish supplemental titles, including Boutiqueville, an overview of Chicago's independent fashion scene, and Best of Chicago, their oft-imitated- never-duplicated annual manual. Do other papers boast more pages? Sure. But Newcity's commitment to superior local coverage of the best and brightest in Chicago arts and entertainment stands alone. You can pick up a copy of Newcity at bookstores, cafes, or in their signature orange boxes in high-traffic neighborhoods.

Dat's entertainment. Dat's entertainment. Dahlings…read more Chicago Social, n/k/a CS, is a glitzy, glossy, free magazine which is distributed to condo buildings and news boxes in certain areas downtown and on the north side. Since CS is free, anyone and everyone from the unwashed masses to the landed gentry who bathe in C-Notes can pick up a copy and get up to speed on local dining, parties, shopping, clothing, interior design and who's who in the local social scene (read: benefit attendees). Since CS is glossy, you can sit in your Gold Coast condo and spill your champagne on it or in your Rogers Park hovel and spill Diet RC on it and still be no worse for the wear, as the spillage will run right off, and you can continue perusing high culture. Dahling, isn't that fah-bulous? Ooh-kay, gurl? Basically, what CS is is a bunch of advertising and rah-rah PR that caters to those with substantial disposable income, those who clamor to one day have substantial disposable income and the pretentious who fall somewhere in the middle. Holla. It's about restaurants, shopping, clothing, jewelry, real estate, interior design and parties. It's to be taken more as entertainment than as informational, and it's always to be taken with a grain of salt. No publication with opinions written in the pretentious first person plural (e.g., "We felt the decor, ambiance and sushi were simply fabulous") is to be taken seriously on general principle. Probably the best part of CS is the section with the party photos. It's always interesting to see where the who's who and celebs are partying, with whom and whether or not they're hot. One must know every month where Bill Kurtis and Donna LaPietra are partying, or one may not be able to go out on the social scene for fear of embarrassment when discourse convenes over cocktails. Whether you're dirt poor or filthy rich, we recommend picking up a copy of CS monthly. It's an amazing way to plug into local society and get up to speed on everything that's fabulous locally. We'll see you on Michigan Avenue, dah-lings. Five stars.

The glossy covers and high end advertisements are only the beginning. The magazine has a true and honest connection to the city often featuring our own on the cover and in the pages.
