Out ‘n’ About

If you’ve been out ‘n’ about at all in Cullman County since August 2013, it would have been hard to miss seeing a copy of Good Life Magazine. Every quarter since then, we’ve distributed 10,000 copies to advertisers and local high traffic locations, and mailed many more. We also like to think Good Life has been hard to miss because we pride ourselves in attractive, inviting, uncluttered covers. Alas, good things come to an end, and owners Sheila McAnear and David Moore are retiring. New owner Hudson Shelton plans to carry on tradition. We bid farewell and thanks with a look back at all of our Cullman covers except for spring of 2020, canceled because of Covid.
