Editor’s Note: Your takes on what’s wrong & how to fix it
In today’s media climate, where Facebook comments have replaced good ol’ fashioned Letters to the Editor, we rarely get this kind of thoughtful feedback anymore.

10 years of Dope
A LOT can happen in a decade. It’s wild to think that, just ten years ago, Dope Sandwich was a group of eager, young college kids sharing the stage and recording on their laptops, printing stickers with their iconic logo and plastering them all over town.

Christopher Middleton’s calling
WHEN I walk into Christopher Middleton’s office, I think for a minute that the lawyer still hasn’t unpacked. Middleton is Chatham County’s assistant public defender. It’s been two years since his office moved to a new building. And his workplace still has that “newly moved in” look of bare walls. No degrees, no honors, no football trophies greet…

Calvin Thomas: Grappling with identity
ARTIST CALVIN THOMAS describes himself as a “late bloomer.” For him the journey began in 1990, when a twenty-something Thomas bid farewell to his small rural hometown in middle Georgia. “I moved to Savannah and I’m from a small town, so Savannah is a big city,” Thomas smiles.

Two words: BEER CAMP
FOUNDED in 1979, Sierra Nevada is considered one of the pioneers of the current craft beer movement, and they have been an important voice in expanding the reach of craft beer and educating the general public on what good beer can be.
