This is the only place where I can find Entertainment Weekly (Walgreens, for some reason, doesn't really stock this anymore!). Minu 1-star for putting the in demand mags in front of the counter. I guess they are trying to discourage people from reading w/o paying? Also no discount! :(

Eastern Newsstand is just half a block from my office so I came here looking for Runners World…read more The place is basically lotto, mags and candy/snacks, but I was a little confused on how the magazines were organized. I was asssuming the running magazines would be in the general area where all the fitness/sports magazines would be at, but it seemed as they were arranged weird. Also the staff wasn't very friendly. No "Hi" or "thank you"

While the Economist is a great source of news, they have increased their subscription rate far in…read moreexcess of inflation and have now decided to have their print subscription customers pay for the Economist to advertise itself (they substituted extracts from their 1873 magazine in the July 27th double edition in place of mailing out the August 3rd edition).

If anyone is considering purchasing a multi-year digital subscription for $445, be aware the…read moreadvertisement for this misrepresents the offer. Two times, separated by weeks, they were told this thru Chat. They agreed it misstates facts and twice said "IT" would fix it. Yesterday I received another email containing the same apparently deceptive "bargain". Whatever is the motive, the offer makes the price seem far better than it is. Given the effort to ask them to correct this, and their refusal to do so, the obvious conclusion is they choose to intentionally mislead the buyer with a known falsehood to add subscribers. If I am a math idiot, they've had two live opportunities to point that out. A sad commentary on what I believed to be a reputable enterprise.

I was on the hunt for a specific magazine that had Lady Gaga on it. I went to every supermarket in…read moreand around my neighborhood, called up all the local bookstores, and even went to Barnes & Noble outside the city. Nobody had it. Couldn't buy it online. I found Smoke Signals on Yelp and gave them a call and asked if they had it. "Yes, of course." Of course?? I drove right over and he had a whole stack of them waiting for me. But although I got what I came here for, I took my time perusing his expansive collection of magazines. absolutely incredible inventory. You have magazines from all over the world, limited editions, special editions, etc. The fashion collection alone is a collector's dream. He has it all - business, politics, sports, cooking, hunting, tabloids, adult magazines. If it exists, he probably has it. Of course, he also has a pretty wide variety of newspapers, and a section full of cigars. This is one of those stores that are just so niche, which makes them really special. I will be sure to buy any magazines from here in the future, instead of some big-box store. Check it out! You'll be sure to find something you enjoy here.

I absolutely LOVE Y-E-L-P!!! Let's just agree to disagree…read morethat Yelp is a nice platform to find businesses and people write reviews based on their personal experience. Some may disagree with the ratings and some will love you for it. I love when I am traveling and I check on Yelp for my surrounding restaurants and shops to venture out. I especially get all giddy when I find a restaurant with over 5K of positive reviews! I turn into a little Sherlock Holmes ready to investigate and indulge that exquisite dish! What is even more incredible about Yelp is the people! Most maybe virtual reality friends, but I have met so many AWESOME and ABOVE and BEYOND people. I have messaged people about stuff, and I get heartfelt responses. People taking the time to give you suggestions or just a "Have a great day" kind of thing! I feel very fortunate and blessed! I am rambling..... See you on Yelp ( SYOY ) !!!

Time for an update. I know a lot of people have a love-hate relationship with Yelp. I actually…read morereally love it and have been pleasantly surprised with the community connections I've made. Unfortunately, our metro is ^once again out a community manager. So sometimes it's a little sad to see all of the incredible Yelp elite events that we don't get to participate in. It was so much better when Ventura and Santa Barbara were separate, but for some reason Yelp combined them into the central coast. It's never been the same since they made that merge. :-( But trying to stay hopeful that we will have a community manager soon and be able to network with each other and local businesses. My motto is the more you put in the more you get back. Yelp works when you work it. And I have had some incredible dining experiences and exposure to local businesses. And I do have Yelp to thank for that. Thanks Yelp!
