Recently picked up this Magazine and was very impressed with the editorial and the layout. Great…read morespread on Alice Cooper! I was happy to know that there is a quality magazine in our growing North Valley area. I live in North Scottsdale and found the editorial versus the advertising a very nice balance. I actually just subscribed today online to make sure I get this mag in the mail every issue.

It's nice to see their hard work, dedication, challenges, and successes being acknowledged. It seems that, often times, all we see and hear about in the news relates to the thugs who choose to disrupt our society. Yay for focusing a part of the paper each week on something positive....especially our youth.

Picked up this free newspaper at the Sprouts on Ray and Dobson and learned a little more about the…read moregoings-on in Chandler and thereabouts. Self-declared as "relentlessly local coverage of Southern Chandler and our neighboring communities", the news features cover community theater, upcoming festivals, local impacts of impending legislation, puff pieces on local businesses, and school sports. With free publications such as these, I often get more out of the ads and hunt down restaurant coupons as an excuse to try new dining establishments (spoken like a true Yelper, ahem, gourmand). This newszine does not disappoint. I found plenty of buy-one-get-one-free offers and other enticing coupons for local eateries and food shops. They also have a respectable restaurant guide derived from the on-line resource www.chandlerlocalbites.com. Now that I'm better informed, I won't have to trek through Hell and Creation to find my nearest dining adventure. But I'm still gonna stick to my budget and save me some money on the meal. All the more reason to go a little nuts and splurge on drinks and dessert! (Yes... there is a method to my madness.)

I'm not sure what the story is there. We always read the Opinions first. Very entertaining. I would like to pass an idea along for you. On Beloat just west of 222nd Avenue there is a company that has a huge crane in the back lot. You can see from the road that many cranes have built nests on the crane and there is always a lot of bird activity there. I think this would be an excellent photo-op for the paper.

I'd give it 5 stars if they would actually deliver it every week! Ironically, contrary to what…read moreothers have posted saying that they want the newspaper to stop delivering, I actually like the newspaper & WANT them delivered, BUT THEY KEEP MISSING ME! I have complained several times that they didn't deliver my paper, & all I get is the run around. Some take my address & promise that they will make sure I get my paper... Which they don't! Others, give me an attitude & say, well, it's a free paper, so tough luck..... I wonder how their advertisers would feel about them not delivering the paper with their paid ads in it??? This paper has switched owners & their customer service has really gone down hill.

I grabbed East Valley Woman to flip through while waiting for my bagel and coffee. That was the…read morelast positive impression I had. I have never been so motivated to write an unpleasant review. There are some great free and low cost pro-business woman magazines. Some of them are actually quite good. So I'll admit I was expecting it to be something the level I'd seen before. Heck no. This magazine is the equivalent of watching an hour long infomercial. Sure, there might be some funny parts or things that make you go Hmmm, but you can't go more than a minute without that reminder that they are trying to sell you something. I think there might be 2 whole "articles" there that are not sharing ad space on the same or facing page for whatever business or service is being discussed in the article. (Example, 1st faux-article "My New Year's Resolution: Become a better networker" filled with how important networking is for your business and an ad at the bottom for the author's company, with her email and phone number for a seminar for "International Networking Week.) And if the ad isn't right there, flip a few pages - because they're all here. And of course, there are no "Advertisement" notes at the top of these things because they might as well just put it on the front cover. It's a giant ad! Anyhow, I'm guessing their ad space is cheap because all the articles are in big font and double spaced and the ads are huge. This 28 page magazine is New Times sized when it should have been Old TV Guide sized. Their tag line? "Empowering Valley Women" Really? Really? I know it may be asking too much, but how about a little more honesty in advertising? If you see this laying there next time you're out, I suggest just letting it lay there. Unless you really love infomercials.

They (like a lot of publications) are entirely blinded by the bottom line (rather than readership), which is why you'll NEVER see them be even a little critical of ANY local business no matter how crappy they are. Everything in this rag is GREAT and GROOVY and COOL. All style. Zero credibility.

Love it or not it this free monthly rag does a better job of covering Central Phoenix, Tempe and other hipster pockets than -- oh wait, zero, zilch, zippo. Yes, no one else is covering it.
