FROM THE editor’s desk
Well, what do you think of our new look?
We are so excited to finally reveal our redesign, which features a crisp, clean look, all new fonts, and new layouts for many
of our readers’ favorite sections, including the Calendar of Events and Click! We hope you love our new look as much as we do. But don’t worry, we’re still the same community-driven magazine at heart.
For many, the New Year means new resolutions– and usually includes lofty promises about going to the gym. What’s the best way to get motivated and stay motived? Robby D’Angelo tells us the difference between motivation and discipline in our Finance & Fitness special section. Also in this section, learn how to start 2020 on the right foot financially by getting rid of debt.
The January issue also includes our City Closeups section. Get to know the featured cities from the inside out, revisiting the successes of 2019 and looking forward to what’s ahead. Read an update on the state of the Coast economy from the recent seminar hosted by the Gulf Coast Business Council and Gulf Coast Community Foundation. Economist Dr. Darrin Webb and the team from TIP Strategies, Inc. evaluated the Coast and let us know what we’re doing right and what we could be doing better.
On a more personal note, get to know Karah Younger, the 23-year-old artist behind the RoofTop mural in Downtown Ocean Springs, and Corey Christy, the Coast’s own ambassador for the arts in our Arts and People sections.
Here’s to a great year, South Mississippi!
