We’re celebrating a big milestone in 2025: our 35th anniversary. 🏆 Turning 3-5 is no small feat in the print publishing world, where even the most celebrated titles can slip into obscurity. Volume I, No. 1 of Savannah magazine debuted in Summer 1990 with just 64 pages. (Our smallest issues today run at least 152 pages.)    The magazine’s inaugural cover image featured the smiling, mustachioed Thompson’s Sporting Goods softball team. 🥎 The team was profiled as they kicked off a new season, in hot pursuit of another national Amateur Softball Association Class A championship. Thompson’s Sport Shop remains in business to this day, supplying team uniforms and sports equipment to area athletes.    The issue also featured a story on the groundbreaking for Truman Parkway and news of Donald Trump’s expected yacht visit to the Hyatt Regency Savannah riverfront docks. An ad for a new community called The Landings, which was a little less than half finished, encouraged interested buyers to complete an attached form and mail it in. ✉️ In its full-page ad for Dixie Crystals sugar, Savannah Foods & Industries Inc. touted the sweet stuff as a nutritional powerhouse, Bay Camera Company offered one-hour processing of film 🎞 onto Kodak paper, Millie Lewis touted the advantages of modeling school, and Atlantic Cellular showed off a pricey – and bulky – new technology called the cell phone 📱.   We – and Savannah – have come a long way since 1990. Cheers to 35 more years! 🥂

Get into the holiday spirit with our November/December issue. Inspired by “Norman Rockwell & Peers: Illustrating Childhood,” Telfair Museums’ exhibit on display through January, we reimagined holiday celebrations in their iconic style — with a Savannah twist — at The Printmaker's Inn. Continuing in the holiday spirit, tour a Victorian home dressed in holiday finery; step inside a stylish snow globe filled with a wonderland of this season’s coolest gifts; and learn about the history of Watch Night Services – a New Year’s Eve tradition in the Gullah Geechee corridor – from renowned storyteller Lillian Grant-Baptiste. ALSO IN THIS ISSUE: Auspicious Baking Co. rises into a Whitemarsh empire; Greg Parker fuels positive community change; Sorry Charlie’s dips its toe into oyster farming; and local medical professionals discuss the importance of gut health. PLUS: Guides to gifting, nonprofit giving and retirement. It’s all in the November/December Issue! . . .
