I can't believe I'm the first to review Current! This mag is THE source for what to do, where to…read moreeat, and where to catch local bands in Washtenaw County, and it's widely available for free in libraries, coffee shops and other local businesses. One highlight is their annual "best of" issue, where they let readers nominate best restaurants, arts and entertainment venues and more. Each section is broken down further into a variety of categories. For instance, you can make nominations for "Best Cheap Eats" or "Best Middle Eastern Restaurant" for the "Food and Drink" section. They also put out an exhaustive local music directory each November in addition to their brief monthly listings. The magazine carries a mix of eclectic local columns about books, music and culture each month as well as calendars of things to do in the area for that month. I also have a soft spot in my heart for Current because of their annual Fiction and Poetry contest, showcasing local writing talent. Full disclosure, I won a third prize in the fiction category one year and first place in poetry another year. They have a nice ceremony with food and door prizes for the winners and their friends and family, too.

My hometown paper, The Macomb Daily, is not concerned with keeping their customers happy. They…read morejust want to keep their customers. They have trapped me into their subscription service. The paper's customer service in regards to subscriptions is completely one way. Once you pay for a subscription, they expect it to continue forever. Despite efforts to cancel my subscription, both by contacting them twice by email and receiving an acknowledgement, and then by phone, they tried pressure tactics to force me to continue with their service. They want to know WHY you wish to leave, they offer discounts, they switch you to a different person in the subscription department, they place you on hold and make you listen to messages that continue to loop, always offering easy options to increase your subscription, but never any options to cancel. I called the subscription department yesterday and told them that I received notice of a pending charge against checking account, in spite of their promises to cancel my subscription. After getting the runaround as noted above, I was told that my subscription was canceled and there would be no further charges. Today, my account was charged for another monthly renewal. I will elevate my complaint to a government entity. For reference in situations like this, look to the Federal Trade Commission website and find the press release of October 28, 2021 entitled, "FTC to Ramp up Enforcement against Illegal Dark Patterns that Trick or Trap Consumers into Subscriptions".
