I feel that this issue more than any other, expands the nature of the publication to a national relevance of outstanding quality. —Alexandro Santana, ­ Savannah I wanted to tell you that this is a very impressive issue. I don’t know if this is my oddity or if other people do this, but I tend to start at the back of a magazine and flip my way forward, then decide what I want to go back to for in-depth reading. I kept stopping and deciding that I wanted to refer back to this article and that article until I reached the front and realized I pretty much wanted to go back and read the entire magazine. — ­ Robert H. Daniels, Savannah I was on the flight home to Arizona from Savannah and read the latest issue of South magazine. The article “No Boys Allowed” made me want to come back and dress up like an elegant woman who knows a thing or two about bird hunting! Thanks for the inspiration and for sharing a story about beautiful, mature women who can hold their own! —Polly Jones, ­ Flagstaff, AZ i INSTAGRAM @Instasouth is your one-stop handle for Dixie’s coolest pics.
