Summer 2025 · Vol. 3

This issue is a love letter to slowing down

We called this one "The Unhurried Guide to Here" because we kept noticing the same thing: the best local spots are almost never the ones you rush past on the way somewhere else. This issue is our invitation to wander.

From a 12-page hidden gem roundup to a deeply personal profile of the bookshop owner who turned down a corporate buyout to stay local, Vol. 3 is the one our readers keep calling their favorite yet.
