I am actually thinking of subscribing to the magazine I once scorned, and it seems an appropriate gift for a step mother-in-law who has everything. They've got this two-fer deal card tucked in the current issue. I always thought of Richmond Magazine as being advertiser-driven as far as most of its content with its suspect best doctors, dentists, real estate agents, etc. type features. Then they started making fun of the City government, which was more entertaining.
And now they have two writers who I enjoy, Bill Farrar and Anne Thomas Soffee, contributing regularly.
I don't like this Richmond Inside Out blog. It looks like a bunch of advertising blurbs posted by unusually happy people, prompted by the site's leading questions that can only be answered with unbridled enthusiasm. Being a grinch, I'd rather read grousing and warnings. It always seems more genuine.
Every section of the Times-Dispatch's website seems like it was designed by someone else in an entirely different style.
