Paul Lundgren, who are you? Why are you always so informed? I must be out of the loop.

I wonder if we can opt in for an email version so as to not 'waste' paper, add to the footprint etc. Time to go green City of Dull-uth.

I didn't receive my copy in the mail today! Boo! If Marti Buscaglia and her team are behind this publication, it's going to look quite polished.

Paul, you are right on. Periodicals get pushed to the side during the holidays in favor of first-class mail. Kudos to Marti!

Um. I'm not sure who Piglet is, but that's wrong. 

Periodicals are delivered as first class mail. Third class mail is slated for delivery in measured stages throughout the week. Often third class mail is dated, to be delivered on a particular date or range of dates, for example if it is an advertisement or catalog for a particular sale. 

My guess is that if this magazine is to be delivered to everyone in the city, it's being sent third class.

As long as we're on the subject of glitzy area publications ...

to the tune of "American Woman" ....

Area woman get warm from me Area Woman Mama dont let me freeze
Do come Shoveling around my door I Do want to see your face Dry and cracked no more
I got no more important Things to do Then spend my time Blowing Snow with you
Area Woman Get warm from me Area woman Mama let me be
Do come Shoveling around my door I Don't want to see you freeze No more
Bentleyville Can hypnotize Go and sparkle Someone else's eyes
Now woman I said get warm Area Woman Listen what I say
Area Woman I said get warm Area woman Listen what I say
Do come Shoveling around my door
I Don't want to freeze your face No more
I Do need your snow machines
I Don't need your hillside scenes
Bentleyville can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else's eyes
Now woman, get warm from me

Bye-bye

You know I'm gonna sauna
You know I'm gonna go
You know I'm gonna sauna
You know I'm gonna go, woman
I'm gonna sauna, woman
Goodbye, Area Woman

I love find and relace

Wow, what an unpleasant way to read something online. I'm not usually a fan of PDFs for online reading (I prefer HTML), but this time I'm glad there's a link to download it as a PDF. I wish the city provided a direct link to the PDF, though, so I wouldn't have had to load the Flash version just to click the download button. (Duluth Superior magazine's page announcing the magazine has a simple link to a lower-resolution PDF version, though this version—despite having an easier-to-read cover—has some minor graphical glitches.)
