I just love this magazine. I’m not from the South, but my BFF is and she introduced me to this great mag. The homes, gardens, recipes , and the journal at the end by one if my favorite authors, Rick Bragg makes every issue like a mini vacation. The tomato pie on the cover this month is a thing of beauty. Are there other fans here ?

I am receiving this magazine as a replacement because Coastal Living has been discontinued. I don't care for it as well as Coastal Living. I don't care for a mag with a lot of recipes because I hate to cook LOL. I like more spreads of homes and decorating ideas.
I don't plan to renew it when the time comes. I am glad that you are enjoying it!

ME! ME! ME!
I am from the south (SE coastal GA) and this magazine has been a staple in all of my 65 years!
I have plastic tubs of their special edition recipe editions, so many yummy recipes that I grew up on!
I also visit their website frequently for recipes.

I used to receive it long ago, and have many of their annual cookbooks. It was a wonderful magazine.
But, I rarely use recipes anymore. DH likes very simple food and so do I. I cook as healthy as possible, and while he will eat almost anything, he just likes very simple prep without lots of ingredients. Me, too.
A long-ago acquaintance of mine used to write for Coastal Living. She was often the decorator for the HGTV home give away. Since it is no longer publised, I'm wondering if she "retired."

I'm in the same situation, Hubs is a meat & 'taters kinda guy, so I rarely get to use many recipes anymore.
Before all of our family members, including us!, got older and many have diet restrictions, I was the queen of southern desserts at get togethers!

I totally agree! Southern Living is the only magazine to be found in this house.
As a native West Virginian, I was thrilled to see this months article on my beautiful state. The article focused on Fayette County, especially Fayetteville, and the area near the New River gorge bridge.
I am farther south, near the East River Mountain tunnels that join WV and VA. The pictures in the article are typical of what you will see in any county of the state right now. We are very lush and green, and have the protection of these tall mountains covered in trees. The air is clean and fresh here every day, and it is a wonderful place to live.
West Virginia celebrated its 156th birthday on the 20th. Both sides of my family were living in this area before 1860.

I live in the Eastern Pan Handle of WV. and I so agree with your writing, it is a beautiful State. My Mother was a McCoy, so we've been here awhile too. But let's not bragg, we don't want bus loads dumping off in our State.

I was a subscriber for years. It is a great magazine, but now I access it online.
American by birth, southern by the grace of God. ❤️
Edited to add: Coastal living is right up there with Southern living.
