Books, Brews & Festivals
Our fall issue shares a glimpse of the people, places and events that define the true spirit of what our community means.
A story for everyone
Where to begin? That was the question we asked ourselves when we sat down to pull together the people and stories in this issue. In a community filled with some of the most passionate, diverse and entrepreneurial individuals anywhere in the Atlanta area, just where do we begin?
Well, we did it.
In our fall issue, which features our “Books, Brews & Festivals” cover story, we offer a glimpse into the lives of nine remarkable people who are helping define the true spirit of what our community means to all of us. They are storytellers, creators and organizers dedicated to fostering the connections that make up what Decatur stands for.
Through their efforts—whether by sharing stories that resonate, creating welcoming spaces where people can gather or organizing events that bring us together—they remind us of the strength found in unity.
Their passion is a powerful reminder that the heart of any community lies in the bonds we build with one another. As we navigate our own paths, let’s not only take inspiration from these individuals, but also recognize that every small act of connection contributes to the larger fabric of our shared experience. Together, we can continue to cultivate a community where everyone feels seen, heard and valued—a place where hope and connection thrive.
It is the reason we are so excited about the new path we are forging with Decatur Living & Beyond. Along with the stories in this issue, we will have more exclusive online pieces that dive deeper into the community at large.
And yes, we have some surprises, too. Do we have your attention? We sure hope so.
We truly hope you love this issue as much as we do. And who knows, maybe we’ll run into you at the Decatur Book Festival. We wouldn’t miss it.
