There were also a handful of advertisers willing to take a chance on a new publication. Since Intown remains advertising driven, the relationships we established with local businesses then remain vital to this day. Without the support of our loyal, local businesses, Intown wouldn’t exist. Atlanta’s place on the international stage began with the 1996 Summer Olympics and took off like a rocket: the transformation of Downtown, the revitalization of historic neighborhoods, the creation of the Atlanta Beltline, the boom and bust and boom again of the real estate market, the citywide embrace of sustainability, the growth of the film industry, the tech industry and a world- class art, music and dining scene. The spirit of 30306 and the communities we cover is still embodied in Atlanta Intown. Our mission to publish hyperlocal news that helps foster a sense of community continues. Under the ownership of Keith Pepper, Intown has become a part of the Rough Draft family of publications, including the Reporter Newspapers and our award-winning daily newsletter. It continues to be my honor to helm Intown and to bring you stories you won’t find anywhere else — whether you’re getting Intown in your mailbox, at a local retailer, online, or through the newsletter. There are so many more stories to tell, so let’s keep it going for 30 more!
