Well, I really like to get the Star Tribune for local news, sports and national news. i have been…read morea subscriber for over 35 years, if that tells you something! But, now, sadly, we cannot get the paper delivered to our box on a daily basis. Some days, we can get it in the evening, other days, never. They say we get "CREDITS". How can we be sure that is the case? But, it isn't the credits I want, it is the newspaper. If you can't deliver, and we don't live in an area that is inaccessible and without other subscribers on our street, what is the REAL problem? I understand that wages might keep people from wanting to take delivery jobs, but, it is your responsibility as a business to keep the customer happy and deliver the product. Do what you NEED to do to get this fixed. Bad business if you can't deliver the product that the customer has ordered and paid for for almost 4 decades!

Rating? Negative 100 The paper is consistently late or delivered the next day. The decision to…read moreprint the paper in Iowa was the dumbest decision ever. The paper is nothing more than a rag for the liberal politicians in Minnesota it is so slanted it is sickening. There is no honest journalism in Minnesota anymore.

Southwest Journal, you are like the greatest neighbors all rolled into one!…read more You are the informative neighbor, telling me about new places to check out. You are the classy neighbor, giving me just enough information about things I don't normally care about, just in case I'm ever in a situation where I need to sound cultured. You are the friendly neighbor because your articles always sound so nice. You have never taken on a negative tone with me, kind of like my real-life asshole neighbors. I don't even need to mention how reliable you are! And, most importantly, you are my nosy neighbor. Your crime reports are reason enough for me to live! I love knowing that I'm not the stupid person who let some strangers in, got tanked, passed out and then woke up to find her car missing. I'm sure glad I get to read about someone else doing it, kind of like my own personal gossip magazine. I just wish you'd put the paper in bags before you delivered them. I know it's not great for the environment, but throwing a newspaper onto steps covered in snow/rain is pretty dumb.

The best local newspaper in the Twin Cities. Its a great way to learn about what is happening in…read morethe neighborhoods, learn of local businesses, and keep up on city government. Its a positive, up beat publication that is chock full of useful news.

Some might be surprised to discover that the Utne Reader is based in Minneapolis--those on the…read morecoasts may think its home is in San Fran or Portland. Now, I'm not way lefty; I'm more lefty-centric...and becoming more centric with age, but I truly like this publication. It consistently offers intelligent, thoughtful and interesting articles. The best part about reading the Utne is that I always feel like it was a good, positive use of my time.
