Living Life Local

Choosing a photo for the “From The Editor” section of Around Here Magazine found me scrolling endlessly through the hundreds of photos I’ve taken over the last several years, looking for that perfect picture that would accurately sum me up. However, what it turned into was a nostalgic tour of memory lane, and ended with a serene, content smile settled onto my face. If you were to peek, you’d see a lot of photos of my family, the outdoors in varying landscapes and activities, historic landmarks, museums, and cemeteries. Learning, being active, and sharing quality time with my family brings me so much joy. But as much as I love to travel, I love coming home.

When the opportunity arose to purchase Around Here Magazine, self-doubt, excitement and big dreams followed. It’s a wonderful publication that gives insight into our local history, informs us about local places and events, and advertises for our local businesses. My goal is to share the things I love: history, activities, and events, with the community I love. Around Here Magazine will continue to highlight our amazing region, history, events, nonprofits and businesses. The look and style may change a bit, but the content will remain the same. Here’s to living life local.
