South magazine 60: Celebration & Arts Issue | Page 3

FORWARD
Welcome to Our Special 10 th Anniversary Edition:
A Celebration of All Things South
X marks the spot. Over the last 10 years, South magazine has become the spot to
see, be seen, shock and awe in Savannah and the Creative Coast. From our small
offices on Bull Street, we’ve discovered some of the South’s most talented artists,
broken some of the area’s most thought-provoking stories, discovered the most
interesting faces of the South, and ruffled a few dozen feathers along the way. From
our premier issue emblazoned with one sexy colonial soldier to our most recent
controversies involving the Confederate Flag, South magazine has continually
shaped the conversation in the Hostess City and beyond.
Our region has made fantastic strides since South magazine’s inception in 2006.
The South has become a center of commerce and controversy, art and academia.
The rest of the country takes cues from our culture and has adopted our style,
cuisine and way of life as their own. Southerners are making big moves in big ways
and we are proud to be even a small part of that growth.
For our 10th anniversary issue, we’ve compiled a dynamic list of stories and people
that have made you talk, laugh, cry and fall in love with our region, our culture and
our voice. Here’s to 10 more years of making friends and continued success.
