This very special offer greeted me when I came home from work tonight. I, a newly minted Midwesterner, have been specially selected to participate in a marketing test for the magazine "Midwest Living." The promotional materials boldly proclaim "The Midwest! It's where you are ... and where you love to be!" and "Come home to the one magazine that takes you where you love to be!" And I have been promised a 3-year subscription for the price of one year
I appreciate the offer, but I'm not sure if the marketing team at Midwest Living knows my real story. First of all, I'm still coming to terms with the fact that I could be living in the Midwest. Because I've heard many Michiganders argue that we live in the Great Lakes, not the Midwest.
Second, even if I am living in the Midwest, it's where I'm learning to love to be! I moved here to get married and yes, I'm growing to enjoy my surroundings. However, if I had remained single, well, I don't think I'd be eligible for Midwest Living subscription offers.
I usually throw away offers like this, as they always seem to dupe you into paying for something you didn't agree to purchase. Yet, since "There's never been a better time to uncover the wonders of the Midwest," perhaps I should give this one a second thought.
