A Note From the Publisher

Thanks for stopping in. Six years in, FirstCoast.Life is evolving — still your guide to the people and places that make this 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, you’re still the stars. Through my weekly “Glenn’s Lens,” expect a mix of Dave Barry-style takes on beach parking chaos and quieter thoughts on the morning tide.

Native or newcomer — welcome. Same celebration of everything good here, just with a little more of me in it.
