I tend to spend a lot of lunches reading over the papers at Whole Foods and noticed Skirt! a few…read moremonths ago. It's free, it's monthly, it's upbeat, and I find myself looking forward to new issues. I am not aware of any other local publications that focus on women, and it's nice to be able to pick up a paper full of essays that range from pleasant to touching. They did have a recent feminist issue. My opinion is somewhat slanted (I have often wondered in frustration why "feminist" is stigmatized here), so I have to admit that this really cemented my loyalty as a reader. Reading Skirt! is a great hour-long escape!

Hey Jezebel! I Heart YOU!…read more First of all I love that the Mag is FREE and that you can pick up an issue around town in coffee shops, boutiques and more! Or simply walk into the CORP Office and pickup one. FREE always gets my VOTE of WOOHOO! Second of all, I love that they have events around the city that are FREE from time to time! I just left one last night that was taken place in Dunwoody..yup yup FREE yet again. ;-) The look and feel of Jezebel makes you want'a read and explore what's inside that's for sure. I consider it an easy read magazine compared to most. You are updated with the latest hotness in the city and you can find out the most loved events that are partaken around the city of Atlanta. If you are an "IT" girl or "IT" guy that loves fun, high energy reads! Then Jezebel is def the MAG to pick up. Check it out..

I like to pick up a free copy of The Atlantan at Phipps Plaza or Lenox Square Mall. The magazine…read morehighlights local restaurants, realty, fundraisers and galas, and upscale stores. The magazine also focuses on celebrities, chefs, authors, designers, musicians, business owners, a food and drink guide and fashion and beauty, books, and travel but unlike many other city publications features models, not celebrities on the cover. I usually skips over advertisements but even the ads printed in the Atlantan are colorful and appealing, When I travel to other cities I find it more difficult to find localized Modern Luxury publications. An online guide on where to pick up free copies would be a great addition.

Back when I could mouch off my parents and didn't have to pay rent I use to ride my bike up the…read morestreet to the local convenience store when I would spend my allowance on soda, chips and slushy. Of course always grabbed a copy of Creative Loafing to check out cool events that I couldn't attend because I was underage and or had no driver's licence. Fast forward a few decades and CL is still one of my favorite sidekick for what is cool, interesting and or off beat for this city of mine. Besides letting you know what's worthy of checking out in this fine city of the south they also have great short fiction written by local talents. We shouldn't be surprised that there are so many talented local writers in this city. After all this is the city of Gone With The Wind and telling stories to each other is as natural as sweet tea and fried okra baby! For the past 10+ years or more my favorite reason to get the CL is the legendary epicurean Cliff Bostock. He was a foodie before most of us were even born! Whether it's Waffle House or some foo foo restaurant where they serve you food the size of a half dollar and then have the nerve to charge you half a Benjamin for it. You can always depend on CB to give you the honest truth in a down to Earth no pretensions manner. BTW if you want to torment yourself check out the 100 dishes to eat article https://creativeloafing.com/content-270683 don't read this when you're hungry as I did..you'll hate yourself. Best the best thing about CL are the classified...funny as hell.....

If you can get around the bountiful assortment of advertisements all over the newspaper, then it is…read moreactually pretty enjoyable. There are some very talented writers at Creative Loafing, and my hat goes off to them for the remarkable job that they do on a weekly basis. Undoubtedly the best Newspaper that Atlanta has to offer. Not to mention, they are free. Which is nice because I would never pay for something that wastes millions of trees anyways. I can't wait until there is no such thing as a newspaper actually. Our generation no longer needs it, considering we are ushering in the digital information age. Get with the times you small minded journalists, and quit throwing that dumb Buyer Savings newspaper in my driveway that I repeatedly told you to stop giving me.

The Atlanta Business Chronicle is the most useful piece of literature I read on a regular basis…read more If you're in any kind of business around greater-Atlanta, the ABC is going to be your source of up to date industry news, events, and opinions. As a professional in the real estate industry, I take a look at the weekly updates on the real estate market, new information on building and development projects, and work in politics that influences my job and where I live. I don't use the 5 star rating lightly, but this publication lives up to high standards. Its the Wall-Street Journal for Atlanta.

One of the most useful, updated, and accurate business publications. Almost every aspect of…read morebusiness in Atlanta is covered with different reporters chronicling real estate, medicine, and hospitality just to name a few. They provide great lists of top businesses in different industries with information about its chief officers, years in business, number of employees, and total revenue. An annual survey is conducted to rate Atlanta's top companies to work for and it's quite an honor for a company to win in their category. The Chronicle is published every Friday and is available at most bookstores. I get my copy from Publix (of course) and delivery subscriptions are available.

I have been subscribing to ATL magazine on and off for over 35 years. This year's magazine is by…read morefar the worst publication. October 2019 has 74 full page ads out of 138 pages. This is not counting 1/2 or 1/4 pages ads. There is NOTHING to read. The ATL is such a great place to live, it's an embarrassment that this is what represents the city.

Depending on the month's featured topic, I like this magazine. A lot of the articles (picking out…read moreschools for your kids?) aren't relevant to me right now, but it's a great general magazine. And thanks to a friend that clued me in on the fact that a yearly subscription is only $12, sign me up! Buying it off of the newsstand will run you $4.95 for a single issue!
