Current issue

Proudly based out of the southeastern side of the Commonwealth, we launched in the Fall of 2020—COVID-19 be damned!—to showcase the places, spaces, and captivating corners that make this region where we all delightedly choose to live, work, play, and short-term stay.

A lot is changing in Tidewater, and that change is coming quickly; tech players to the north of the state and the talent they bring, the renewed interest of city sons in making this a hub for creativity and entertainment, and the concerted efforts of local companies to put this area on the map are all happening.

We are here to guide you through the present, illuminate the past, and showcase the future as it comes with a spirit of excited optimism. Together, we’ll watch our area transform—and keep you up to date on the best of what’s happening.
