Picked up my first ever copies of both mags being discussed, and enjoyed them both. I also thought they were different in style and presentation, that SRSG read more "folksy". I very much enjoyed "Avenue"'s articles, thought they were well written and interesting. The photos throughout the mag were excellent. I do wonder, is our area large enough to need two similar magazines? Guess time will tell. local business owner wrote: nice try to combat the Spring River mag but you have alot of work to do to catch them. I know it's just business but the Spring River mag kicks your behind!! Kinda low down to be honest. We do need more promotion here, but your paper sux and your mag is rather cheezy too!!

Oh, My, what TRASH exists at the beginning of this post. They truly don't know the meaning of tact. Makes one wonder what jealousy they have in their mobile home walls! So sorry that your life is so misfortunate that you must take your ignorance out on others. Do us all a favor and enroll in your nearest Jr College or GED class.

Well, I think that Avenues magazine has good articles and obviously better proofreaders. However, what they don't have are the attention getting layouts and articles. Jody's magazine seems to capture what the area is all about better. If I didn't know any better, I would think Avenues was a home interior magazine. It just doesn't seem like it reflects the culture of our area very well.(Especially with all of the out of town advertisements!)

I forgot to ad that previous comments stated that the alignment is better in the articles, and I tend to agree. However, it seems like Avenues is alittle bit too much of a template type publication. I think I could get any program to produce that magazine. There isn't a whole lot of artistry there.

The photography in SRSG is of the utmost quality, i'll bet areawide wishes they had recognized this when Jody worked there. He left there and now they are trying to recoup what they lost. His magazine has became a real threat to them. The saavysenior wrote: <quoted text>I am guessing as a reader of both magazines, that since the company that puts out Avenues is a printing company that has been in business since the 50's, they might be a little more stable financially and to me the pages or ads look nothing like SRSG, they are not as blurry and distorted or stretched out. The man that owns it is a good photographer, but needs to go back to spelling class and learn grammar. I see no reason both can't survive in the area. It looks like they both try to reach different audiences, SRSG the partiers and younger crowd, and Avenues to a thirty and up generation and retirees, which is something SRSG doesn't seem to cover. I wish them both luck in their business and wish everyone would leave it alone.

I enjoy both magazines and read them both every chance I get. Why does it have to be a competition? The magazines differ somewhat, which is a good thing. They will each appeal to different people bringing people with different tastes to shop in Hardy. The more positive PR Hardy and the surrounding area gets the better it is for everyone. Being from a larger city and not a big fan of 'big business' and franchises, I love visiting Hardy every chance I get, but a wider variety of 'home-owned' businesses that retain the small town atmosphere would be a great draw for tourists from all parts of the country and would increase the profitability of every business already established there.
