I blogged recently on Lisa Reviews about how much I can’t stand the Chicago Tribune. Yes, my favorite paper since I moved down here has made me cancel my subscription. I know, hard to believe. I have been through many, many, many changes to the look of the paper. However, this last one I cannot stand. It drives me nuts to the point that I swear its giving me acne. I can’t find the sections that I like. I swear there is less content. Some of pages look like a blog page which would be fine if I was looking at a blog. However, I read the newspaper for more content not less. My husband has always wanted me to subscribe to the Chicago Sun Times, so I finally did. Today, our first paper came, and I loved it! Their articles had real content and weren’t just all pictures. I could easily find what I was looking for. I only have two complaints. I am not sure how I am going to share the paper with Bill. We tend to read it at the same time. The other problem I see is that I get less coupons. However, the Chicago Sun Times is a third of the cost of the Tribune, so at least I am saving money there. If I remember, I’ll just ask my mom to keep her coupons, and I’ll go through them when we go up to Green Bay.
