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.

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.

As a gal who works in Tempe and goes to lunch alone, these have become my new best friend. They…read moreare everywhere, they have a great picture/article ratio for lunch time perusing while you eat. Articles are relatively short so there are no worries that you'll get sucked into a long one (yes, that would be you New Times...) and suddenly you realize you should already be back at the office and you still need to eat half your sandwich. I have to say - I'm actually quite impressed. I've seen restaurants/stores advertised here that I'd never heard of before. I've read about festivals here that I hadn't heard about anywhere else. Music and movie reviews that aren't catering to "the man". And always a few articles about campus life or some other "it's cool with young people" article that cracks me up. Don't come here looking for a breaking news scandal or anything - unless that scandal has to do with bad food on campus. That article might even get a whole two pages. Well, 2 pages with really big pictures.

College Times is not just for college kids (damn, I'm sure the sales account executives aren't too…read morethrilled that *my* liking it undermines their demographic targets, but whatever). Granted, the first few pages would be of more interest to students, because there are pictures of local events and stories that a non-student wouldn't care about (e.g., transfers, class credits, courses, the bar scene, etc.) HOWEVER, setting all that aside, the "Calendar" section is still more informative and chock-full events than the New Times. (Yes, I'm referring to the 'dead tree' paper edition of College Times.) The 'dead tree' paper edition of New Times only lists one or two events per day. The 'dead tree' paper edition of College Times, by contrast, lists more events per day. So, their event listings are better. The 'dead tree' paper edition of College Times seems to have much better - not infinitely better, but noticeably more comprehensive - music coverage. In addition to featured new releases of the week, there's a "Weekly Six Pack" sidebar of notable new releases, and another sidebar for "Download This" suggested tracks to download. Their reviews also have "Similar Sounds" below the review, which seems to be like the "RIYL" (Recommended If You Like) tags you see elsewhere. Frankly, I've always found RIYL to be unnecessary. If you can't tell what a band would sound like without someone having to give you an example, you're either seriously musically illiterate or whoever wrote the review is seriously musically illiterate. It would be good if some of the features like "Weekly Six Pack" and "Download This" were available on the online edition.

Thank you for this nice neighborhood newspaper. Plus you deliver it not only to my driveway every…read moreweek but I can pick up a (non-sun damaged or run over by my grandson) copy at Einsteins Bagels. Its a great read - well edited so the stories are short and to the point. You give me state news as well as the on-going golf course fight updates in depth. Knowledge of the mountain creatures as well as trail news etc. And really endearing local stories about those great local teens and their accomplishments. Ahwatukee is home to the best hope for the future. The value in easily keeping up with just the important things, not the murders and car wrecks and flotsam and jetsom re-copied from other newspapers; or the crazy things going on in California we can't do anything about anyway. No, I'd say these are the happy newsworthy stories that one can read while having a coffee. And then actually feel pretty good about life. Thanks again for being there for us regular citizens of this very charming and friendly community known informally as 'the tuk'. Love you guys !!

They also sells snacks, candy, drinks, etc. They do not sell postage stamps, and the staff told me that none of the stores in the airport do, so if you want to mail someone a postcard or letter from Arizona, buy your stamps somewhere else first. Prices are higher than normal since you're trapped in the airport but not ridiculously so. Staff were yelling back and forth at each other for several minutes about the wet floor.

Changing Hands is not your ordinary bookstore. I've fallen in love with both locations. I initially…read morefound Changing Hands through their Phoenix location which needs a separate review of its own. Both locations have their own unique layout, so you can't even compare them. There is so much to appreciate. This one feels a bit more spacious and I found myself in the store for 2 hours just taking my time looking through the aisles. Immediately upon walking in, I was enamored by their setup and selection of books. They have every genre you can think about. Some sections that caught my eye: a dedicated kids' section and a spot for when special guests come. They're also connected to Wildflower so you can come before or after a sip and bite. Changing Hands is so special because they care about community and also support second hand! Staff is eager to help you out and guide you if you have a specific book in mind. You can bring your well loved books in return for store credit and they're quite generous with the credit. They'll take your books depending on the condition and if they need stock for that book. The cherry on top- I love that I'm supporting a local bookstore. And you even get a stamp card with a discount once you've gotten it all stamped out. Their prices are also affordable, and you can choose from new or used books which is nice. Most of their used books are in pristine condition. I support Changing Hands through and through and am so glad I ran across this bookstore. If you're a book lover, you need to go!

UPDATE: I opened my new book up and MULTIPLE PAGES WERE…read moreRIPPED OUT. Absolutely unacceptable!!! It is OBVIOUS the staff here half ass their jobs as not only was this used book damaged to the point that I won't be able to read it in its entirety, I FOUND SOMEONES TAX DOCUMENTS IN THE BOOK and the staff DIDN'T CARE. This is without a doubt the worst store I have ever been to in my life. I am fuming and will not be coming back, which is incredibly disappointing as I was hoping to support a local business but this store is just an absolute nightmare. Review: The selection was alright at best, but the store was laid out horrifically. I struggled to find any of the books I was interested in, and the staff did not seem interested in helping me in any way. I struggled to find any of the Star Wars books I was interested in as they were just scattered randomly throughout the store whereas every single other bookstore I have been to have franchises that large in their own sections. And it wasn't just the Star Wars books, books from numerous series were scattered randomly across the store making it near impossible to find anything you'd actually want. Want the sequel to your favorite book? Well it's not going to be by the first one in the series, that's for sure. And the prices? Insane!! The used book prices are alright at best, thankfully I was lucky enough to find one decent deal on a book I had already wanted. But it was disappointing nevertheless, as a used paperback from the 90s shouldn't be $8. All of their new books are noticeably more expensive than any other bookstore I've ever been to, at least $5 to $10 more than even Barnes and Noble, who already charge too much IMO. And the staff? Horrifically unwelcoming. There was one or two employees there who made me feel welcome, greeting me on entry and being very polite. But when I found someone's PERSONAL TAX DOCUMENTS in the back of a book, the employee who I handed it off to seemed annoyed that I even acknowledged him, despite the fact that I found something incredibly personal in a used book that should have been checked before it was ever put on the shelf. I have NEVER seen something so unprofessional as I could've gone home with the document and taken this man's SSN (obviously I didn't, that's a felony and I'd rather not go to jail). And the cashier who checked me out seemed annoyed that I was even there. I understand that the economy is rough right now and that working in retail really isn't that fun or fulfilling, but at the same time experiences like that with staff are never fun. Work is hard, but I came in and was nothing but polite, minding my own business as I looked for a good book, so I don't understand why the staff couldn't have at least reciprocated with the slightest bit of positivity or kindness. They were obviously miserable and it made me feel unwelcome and has assured me that I will not be returning to this store. If you are looking for solid deals on books in the suburbs of Phoenix, you are much better off going to Bookmans, Half Price Books, or even Zia Records. Bookmans especially, as their prices on used books are unbeatable. Overall, you're better off skipping this one. While you might be able to find a decent deal, you'll be stuck searching for an hour with little to no help from the staff. It was an incredibly frustrating experience.
