 An O.K. Magazine June 22, 2008
Disney Teach (Tampa Bay, Florida)
This Chicago magazine subscription was a christmas present. The magazine is o.k., but usually ends up in the garbage. There are too many ads and not enough information on the "real" chicago. I do like some of their articles, but again, usually, it ends up in the garbage.
 Useless facts and $1700 lamps...Gross. April 5, 2006

I ordered it because they sent me a subscription card for $12...luckily that is all I paid. You might appreciate this magazine if you are in your forties, have 5 children, are a doctor or lawyer, and thrive on statistics. Every issue focuses on comparing us to other cities, primarily New York, and is a general bore. There is nothing one could actually utilize, or would want to, in the entertainment/restaurant section. I've never been so eager for a subscription to end. I can't believe Amazon suggests buying this along with Time Out Chicago, who I've turned to for real information, colorful interviews, and articles that honestly do feel like Chicago does. Yuck...all the focus on rich people makes me want to puke. Why don't they count up some statistics on how many Chicagoans actually fit your sickeningly rich profile? 5 percent? Their March issue explaining that a D-I-N-K couple making a combined $120,000 a year struggles just as much as a single mother making $15,000 based on their choices really tops it off: this magazine is out of touch.
Like New York Magazine, not the New Yorker September 22, 2004
Payola (Chicago, IL USA)
Like so many magazines that have decided to pursue the relatively affluent core of their subscription, Chicago magazine is great if you want to read a magazine to figure out what to buy. It's got lots of articles that are relevant to you if you're upwardly mobile, either live in the suburbs or have a car to get there, and are interested in the latest trends in entertainment and shopping.
That said, it's just not what I look for in a magazine. I've read many issues and while the writing is pretty good, I've never found an article that I thought was worth saving, or even much that told me something I didn't know about Chicago, and I've only lived here a few years. Don't be fooled by the title -- this magazine is fine for what it is, but it doesn't even come close to covering Chicago.
Promotes The National Image of Tribune Liberal Bias May 19, 2004

The magazine hit a new low recently but is in lockstep with the media bias demomstrated so wonderfully by the Chicago Tribune.
The story tracking a particular pistols travel from manufacturer
to the streets of Chicago exhibit the typical reporters attempt
to shape public opinion to their viewpoint. Stories such as these
are shining examples of how America's public is slowly brainwashed into believing what the reporters portray in a one sided story. America, the firearm issue is the biggest cover-up since the JFK assassination. If you disbelieve what I've just stated your already brainwashed.
 Chicagoan no longer looking to Chicago Magazine April 7, 2004
6 out of 8 found this review helpful
Chicago magazine was once a wonderful resource to me as a Chicagoan...but not now. Hip, savy and younger (25-40) is no longer the target audience. For over two years this magazine was my main resource for learning about, events, restaraunts, clubs, openings. Now, this magazine is just a glorified version of the Chicago Tribune...it's owners. both the magazine and the paper will have the same information for "hot new clubs", "great eats", 10 things to do under $40. It's a rip off for those of us that live here and those traveling here. But even worse it tends to focus on the suburbs. If Chicago wasn't a thriving, wonderful city...no one would want to live here.
