We're absolutely thrilled to announce that our 80th issue of The LocaL magazine is officially out! This June marks eight incredible years of bringing you the heart and soul of our community.
This special edition is packed with amazing stories, including a homecoming performance from Shawn Mullins as he prepares for his show at The Loft, which is celebrating its own impressive 33rd anniversary!
You'll also get to meet Olivia Rose from the Chattahoochee Valley Learning Center, and we share the bittersweet moment as Miguel from the Columbus Jazz Society passes the torch.
On our cover, you'll find the stunning captivating paintings of local artist Anastasia Waldecker. We're also raising a glass to two incredible local institutions celebrating major milestones: David Benefield at Highland Hall, marking his 40th anniversary in floristry, and Sweetbriar Smoke Shop, celebrating a remarkable 50 years!
Plus, our favorite local film guru, Paul Rowe, makes a compelling case for why we should all care about Westville.
