I love Garden and Gun Magazine!!!! I assumed it was published out of Birmingham, Alabama's Southern…read moreLiving publisher; however, I was wrong. It's based in Charleston! It "celebrates the modern South and features the best in Southern food, style, travel, music, art, literature, and sporting culture." Its first issue was in 2007, eighteen years ago. The name Garden and Gun is explained as an "inside reference to a popular 1970s Charleston disco called the Garden and Gun Club. It is also explained as a metaphor for the South's land, people, lifestyle, and heritage." Today, both Atlanta and Louisville have Garden and Gun Clubs that are extensions of the Garden and Gun Club brand and are affiliated with the magazine. They also have a podcast about Southern culture, at least four books, a Fieldshop shopping experience, a "G&G Society" and more. Garden and Gun has an elevated look and feel to it! It exemplifies sophistication with its masterful use of white space, iconic rich warm sepia tones, and thoughtful layouts! As a BA graduate in Graphic Design, this magazine really appeals to me! Stories range from "The Secret South" to "The Sporting South." I enjoyed their articles on Birmingham Alabama's Chef Chris Hastings and about other Alabama chefs! Not only is Garden and Gun beautiful to hold and see, the articles are well written, interesting, and very engaging! This comes from a person who does not hunt and loves dogs as much as any other person does, owning one myself. Thank you Allée Group LLC and Rebecca Darwin for providing us with this elevated and lovely lifestyle magazine and other experiences!

Terrible customer service. I originally subscribed in mid-May 2020 and haven't seen a copy of the…read moremagazine in 3 weeks. When I called both their 1-800 and local customer service operations numbers, they informed me that the current issue is sold out so the next one would be sent in July. Totally unsatisfactory. Keep enough stock of your magazine to service new customers, please! Also, let people know that there will be a L-O-N-G delay in receiving it when the subscription starts. Cancelled this subscription.

At first I was disappointed to not being able to read articles related to the virus because online…read moreyou can only read 3 articles and then you must subscribe. Except not that you can read virus related articles for free. However it took about ten emails with Stephanie, very persistent lady that helped us to enable the feature without subscribing. It wasn't easy but thanks to her perseverance we managed to do it by downloading the app. It is my way of being connected with SC while I am in NC

Again I tried to get my refund back from the Post and courier!!!…read moreTook it out at the fair on November 4 Didn't receive it until November 13th a day late! I called Nov 15 and they said that every paper would be a day late I said I like to cancel it and still December 17 still have not received my refund just got off the phone with them and they said it hopefully will be here before the new year 2020

I've been saving #400 for my old friend the City Paper. Whether visiting and needing the immediate…read morerecommendation on where to eat, like Oriental Garden, or living here and looking for perspective on local and state politics...the City Paper has proven to be a valuable resource. One of the rare things in life worth more than you pay. Admittedly left leaning...I appreciate the Blue in a sea of Red. I tend to shy away from the issues labeled "Best of..." as they seem a bit slanted to the popular vs. the "best". But they never seem to fail to point out some of the best local happenings . I have to say...The paper beats the online version. Call me old. I think the physical version is much better than the cyber version. Whether visiting or a resident...get a copy of what's going on in the CHS.

Written much in the style of the many Village Voice papers all around the country, though this one…read moreis NOT published by Village Voice. Very much written with a Southern, and Charleston, slant, as is to be expected and appreciated, with local radio host Jack Hunter, the "Southern Avenger" having a spot with a weekly column.

Skirt! is a free newspaper-sized magazine for women that comes out monthly. The ads and articles…read moreare geared toward women. One of my women friends loves reading it every month. I picked it up out of curiosity. For me (obviously not a woman), it was just okay. The articles contained topics like pregancy, a mother with a teenaged daughter who wants to have sex, learning to do a handstand, etc. Things I'm not familiar with. Plus I noticed that there were a LOT of ads in the magazine and very few articles. But I guess that's how they keep it afloat and offer it free, right? My friend also loves the magazine for its information on new shopping in town, including what products are available where. For women, I give it two thumbs up, for men...not so much.

Very poor customer service. Buyer beware. make sure you read all the terms and cancel by speaking…read morewith a real person.

My husband and I have been subscribers to The Post and Courier for years. Unfortunately, we no…read morelonger receive consistent delivery and our attempts to get in touch with someone who will address our issue is basically impossible. We have both called repeatedly only to be met with, "Oh, sorry you didn't receive your paper. We will send someone back out right away" and they never do. Or, "We will have our Circulation Manager call you" and we never hear from anyone. And the representative at the call center actually hung up on my husband yesterday! (Yes, he was being polite). I cannot imagine how this company stays in business. One would think with the difficulties papers are having staying afloat that they would do everything in their power to retain their long-time faithful, customers. And to rub salt in the wound, we just received our Post and Courier bill and the subscription rate has increased! So, we are expected to pay more for an already overpriced service with inconsistent delivery and absolutely zero customer service? Though we would love to continue supporting local journalism, we simply have had enough and will not be renewing.
