In the past five years, our magazine
was also born. And in five short years,
we’ve seen and experienced the magical
qualities that belong to this city. We’ve
met the cast of characters (including the

most entertaining and important stories
to hit the city. We’ve documented and

explored what we could, and we’ve also
taken notes along the way. So if you think
you've slipped by us these past years, you
can be sure we’ve got our eye on you and

Faces of the South is a look back at the
people, events and stories that shaped the
city, as well as a preview of what you can
expect in the next five. After relentless
research and hours of interviews with
those who have their finger on the pulse
of the city, these are the things we think
you should take note of that have hap-
pened and are happening right before
your eyes.
