WE’RE MAKING SOME BIG CHANGES! Like everything else in this world one must change to stay alive and man are we making some changes. Three years ago I started The Hub because most of all I really need a job, plus I figured the traditional “Community Newspaper” hadn’t really changed in fifty years so why not shake things up a bit and thanks to ya’ll we did! Shortly after my first issue was published I had coffee with this guy, Tripp Liles publisher of The Current. Over time we’ve gotten to know each other and literally over a cup of coffee decided to stop working against each other and combine forces. This issue is the first of many more to come of the new CurrentHub. The combination will provide comprehensive coverage on the local entertainment, dining and social scene. Additionally, the two entities will have larger staff support, which in turn, will lead to a better publication. Tripp and I will serve as co-publishers with him taking the lead on editing and creative and I’ll be heading up the sales, marketing and public relations, which really means I got the better of the two jobs! In some ways I’m sad to see that what we started is changing but on the other hand I’m so thrilled at the opportunities that lie ahead. – Mark Penstone, Co-Publisher The Current Hub
