We have discovered that several of us have not received our September Focus – on several different streets in the city. According to what we know so far, the Post Office should have received it on September 8. Typically it only takes a couple of days for me to receive mine once they have been delivered to the post office.
I’m wondering if anyone out there has actually received their September Focus? Please let us know. We’re investigating the issue and apologize for the delay! In the meantime, we have posted the September Focus online.
We are also starting to use a new e-pub technology that allows you to read the Focus like a magazine spread online and also lets you click through to the links immediately rather than our regular page-by-page PDF style. Click here to read the July/August issue that way. Once we get the system up and running efficiently (i.e., you can see it by the first day of the month), let us know if you like it!
The production of the Focus includes several critical steps and timing from several entities – we aim to get it to you the first week of the month and we hate it when we experience extreme technical difficulties of this kind. Thank you for your patience as we work through this kink.
Nope, not on RIdgeland Ave! =(
Well, I didn’t get mine here on Avery St, but I usually don’t until the third week of the month at the earliest. I do like the new online format, and appreciate being able to see what is going on before it happens.
So excited to get mine- checking the mailbox daily! Midway Road
We still don’t have ours – Drexel Ave.
We got ours yesterday (Sept 26th). Was disappointed that we had missed so many ‘happenings’ around town due to its untimely delivery.
I do love to read the Focus, but I am usually disappointed to discover that they announced events that have happened before I ever received it.
If it can’t be delivered until the middle of the month, perhaps it would make more sense to announce happenings for the beginning of that month in the previous month’s Focus.
I live on North Candler St. and received the recent magazine on the afternoon of the 24. Usually I receive it by the middle of the month, still too late to find out about events I would have been interested in attending.
Thanks for your feedback. You should be receiving the Focus the first week of the month rather than in the middle on a regular basis. We try to get folks to send in their information early when the events are happening early in the month so they can get in the issue before in order to alleviate this problem. Let me know if you do not receive your October issue the first week of the month.
