letter from the EDITOR

Don’t flip your lid. Don’t bug out. It’s really here. We are totally psyched to welcome you to Issue 3: Retro Edition. This issue is a blast from the past - featuring shrouds of mystery through cold cases from our own take on BuzzFeed Unsolved, radical retro sports and technological development captured through the lens of cameras. We have debates on thrifting that will keep you looking fly, hot takes on old shows and updates on Johns Creek alumni. And, this holiday season, we have you covered through articles featuring past love traditions that will ensure you don’t get kicked to the curb. In the cover article, seasoned editor Ella Cho and budding staff writer Olivia Courtney search for the true meaning of retro, vintage and antique - terms that have often been misused in the current adoption of the past. Sampling music, Hollywood, growing up in the ‘90s, we have something for everyone in this issue. Put on your bell bottoms, start up your Cadillac and take an old record off the shelf; see you on the flip side.
