Adirondack Life
I got this as a gift for my mom. I ordered a subscription in October, assuming that she would receive the December issue. Unfortunately, she didn't get the magazine until mid January. We were a little disappointed that it took so long, but she really enjoys it. It's a good price and it's hard to find it stores which makes this a decent deal.As a subscriber for many years I have finally let my subscription run out. I love the Adirondacks and the people that reside there. The magazine has chosen to focus on the wealthy and privileged that vacation in this region. I am not really interested in the process a wealthy person took to buy a parcel of land and build a private resort for himself. However, it seems that in recent years the magazine has catered to this clientele. Don't look for many articles about someone that lives in the mountains and makes a living there. However, if a story about a wealthy family buying some land for several thousands of dollars per acre and then having a house built (or moved) to suite their particular taste, then Adirondack Life is for you.I live in upstate NY and love the Adirondacks, not being a real native of the area. I purchased the magazine for obvious reasons wanting to read about the area I live and the photos. The magazine is a bit pricey for the material received. Seems like the majority of the magazine month to month is Advertising and little story content. One doesn't like to pay for a magazine that is all advertising. When you think about it -the vendors listing the advertising are paying for the magazine in a way and the price should be more attractive to bring in the people to buy their products. Won't be renewing. Suggest reading the few articles at the newstand instead which won't take long unless you are in the market to buy items vended in the magazine.
