I actually LIKE this paper and I will continue to buy it on Sundays, but at my local 7-11 rather…read morethan home delivery. 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.

This newspaper completely sucks! We had problems with stupid price hikes, and bad delivery. Also,…read morethe customer service really sucks! The people they use from overseas are awful. I've seen prior reviews and I agree completely on how horrible they are. We cancelled our subscription and they send us a bill for surcharges and we canceled before the end of the billing cycle ! Don't get a subscription with this paper!

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. They have a significant classified section that helps out when trying to find a new apartment or even a yard sale. 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.

I really miss the great neighborhood paper. On my last visit there, I found a pile of the BNs on…read moreour front porch. Apparently no one at the house cared much to go through the old copies. I had such a wonderful time flipping through all the announcements sections. I could not believe how many of my grade school mates were parents. It is sad that I do not have a similar publivation where I now live. My mom still has framed clippings from the BN of when I was in kindergarten! 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. Ahhhhh... nostalgia....

They even have cool Maps and Guides with coupons!

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!

I have always liked People Magazine. I do receive the magazine via USPS, as well as on line. I…read moreespecially like to read comments and often like to comment as well. However, for approximately the past 4 months the comments section has not been working. I have emailed People Customer Service at least 5-6 times for help and have received one response, asking for screenshots, which I have provided. The last 3-4 emails have gone unanswered. Very disappointed in their customer service. I actually received a renewal notice recently but given recent events I am not planning to renew

I asked to speak to a manager or supervisor as to why I was being randomly charged if I wasn't in their system and the guy I spoke to put me on hold for 20+ minutes "to put me through to someone else" until I finally hung up on them. Long story short I never got an answer as to why I was charged $25 when I wasn't even in their system and I had to cancel my debit card and get a new one and in the mean time per my bank I had to wait until the $25 charge wasn't pending anymore so that I could dispute it.... Beware of these SCAMMERS!!!!!!!

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.

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.

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.
