Content: I just finished looking through the December issue of Southern Living. I have either subscribed to, or bought from the newsstand, Southern Living magazine for nearly 25 years. The recent changes, however, have left me both uninspired and sad. The sleeker redesign was, according to SL's editor John Alex Floyd, Jr., to acknowledge the changing South (my paraphrase). Well, I'm a born and bred Southerner, and I thought SL was perfect the way it was. The new emphasis is now on being green, eating healthy, and decorating New York faux Southern style. These may be worthy issues, but why does my beloved Southern Living have to bear the burden? Where are the letters to the editor (we now get a letter FROM the editor - who cares?)? What about the gardening advice according to the Southern regions? Even the decorating pages are sleeker and more contemporary. It's more like "Real Simple" than SL. I'm heartbroken that SL has been taken over by "intellectuals" who apparently thought the South needed "fixing." My subscription is nearly at its end, and, sadly, I will not renew it. The SL I have loved over the years is gone. I am not a relic of the past (I'm only 47) and usually accept with ease the changes and challenges life brings; this "redesign," however, was unnecessary. I am only a little consoled that at least I have earlier issues of SL that I can still look through and enjoy. SL really should change its name; to call itself "Southern Living" is shameful in its current state. I knew "Southern Living," and your magazine, Mr. Floyd, is no "Southern Living."
Summary: Not My Southern Living

Content: I have been a subscriber to this magazine for a few years now and it happened immediately after a friend gave me a copy. I'll recommend this to anyone. I'm a perfectionist and think the magazine is perfect. My favorite parts include the terrific articles provided to help make decisions on where to travel to and the absolutely incredible recipes they include.
Summary: Amazing Magazine

Content: I have bought Southern Living Magazines for years but there is a irritating trend in all magazine publications and Southern Living is no exception. Most articles are one page, really less. With photos and ads, most are 4 paragraphs or less. Its like the American Public is all ADHA and the publishers think we can't concentrate any longer than that. If I take the time to look at each page of the magazine, then I won't mind spending 5 more minutes reading a little depth to an article that catches my attention. I can now go through an entire Southern Living in less than 30 minutes. Is this worth my money?
Summary: "I Can Read More Than One Page"

Content: Southern Living is the best magazine describing the lifestyle of the south. The recipes are always terrific. The articles of places to visit really highlight things that may be off the beaten path to many tourists but are very "southern". The gardening articles are very informative too.

Content: I love this magazine! I have received it for over 20 years and I never get tired of it. The articles are well written, intelligent, informative and lively. I have based many vacations on articles I have read in SL.
