If you’ve been out ‘n’ about at all in Marshall County since November 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, around the county. We also like to think Good Life has been hard to miss because we pride ourselves in attractive, inviting, uncluttered covers inside a distinctive white border. Alas, good things come to an end, and owners Sheila McAnear and David Moore are retiring. New owner Hudson Shelton, however, plans to carry on the tradition. We bid you farewell and thanks with this look back at all of our Marshall covers, well, except for spring of 2020, canceled because of Covid.
