City & Shore 20th Anniversary
I could never pick a favorite from among my (2) kids – just like I can’t pick a favorite from among my (200+) issues of City & Shore.
We parents raise our kids, send them out into the world – and are happy (OK, sometimes, shocked) when we hear people say nice things about them. Same with being the editor of a magazine – working with a staff of writers, photographers, art directors and more. We raise each issue, together; send them out into the world – and are happy (sometimes relieved) to hear nice things about them, too.
The 20 covers I picked here, in no particular order and sans commentaire, are just the first-page tip of an average 124-page issue of City & Shore. I picked them because they remind me of a time, or the work that went into producing them – or because of nice things I remember hearing readers say about them.
But I couldn’t pick a favorite from among my 200+ issues of City & Shore. They are all my children.
