2026 Message From Our Publisher ...
Thanks for stopping in! After five+ years of celebrating First Coast creatives, FirstCoast.Life is evolving. We’re still your guide to the people, places, and experiences that make our region special – but now, I’m joining the conversation I’ve been curating.
Think of it as a coastal variety show. I’m the host, but you’re still the stars. Through my weekly “Glenn’s Lens,” I’ll be sharing a mix of light humor and old-soul wisdom – from Dave Barry-style observations of beach parking chaos to quiet meditations on the morning tide.
Most importantly, I’m using this lens to spotlight the heart of our community. Whether we’re featuring local photographers or honoring the “nicest people” in the neighborhood, these pages reflect both my view and our collective First Coast spirit.
Whether you’re a native or a newcomer, welcome to the 2026 edition of your community hub. It’s the same celebration of everything good here, just with a bit more personality.
