Growing up in a small town in Michigan, my favorite time of year has always been autumn. Who doesn’t love apple picking, day trips, and cooler weather. Mother nature puts on a show with the brilliant colors of changing leaves. The sweaters come out, the bonfires start up and we sip warm cider and pick out pumpkins.

I get that same feeling here in the 919 – and feel so excited to share this fall issue with our readers.

We are celebrating so much this autumn! A special thanks goes to our friends and neighbors in the Apex and Holly Springs communities for embracing your very own edition of 919 Magazine! We are proud to mark this first year milestone with you and are delighted to share your special stories, people and events with the rest of our adjacent communities.

919 Magazine publishes FIVE editions of each issue: You will find us in Apex/Holly Springs, Cary/Morrisville, Brier Creek, Leesville/North Raleigh and Wake Forest/Wakefield/Rolesville. We began in 2012 and have steadily grown over the years to become your hometown magazines.

If you are just discovering us for the first time, welcome! This issue we focus on interesting places to visit this fall with your friends and family. In our continuing series, All Things Carolina, we visit the mountains, the central part of the state and coastal North Carolina.

We also put the spotlight on three local companies and their talented people. These folks continually deliver their best in the 919 . We sit down with SamIT Solutions, Thompson and Thompson Family Dentistry and Travinia Italian Kitchen and Wine Bar. Be sure to see their stories beginning on Page 30.

Maybe I’m a little biased, but I still believe that North Carolina – and more specifically, the 919 – is a great place to Live, Work and Play. Keep sharing your stories, your events and anything else you think we should know about. You can reach us on our contact us button at 919magazine.com or by email info@919magazine.com.

Happy Fall Y’all!
