MEDIA MONDAY / FOODIE BUYS SAN DIEGO MAGAZINE

So, on the first day of a vacation from our blog (after 11 straight years of not missing a daily post) Troy and Claire Johnson purchased the 73-year-old San Diego Magazine.  I'm happy to report this because this editor spent many years working for and with San Diego Magazine on and off 1980-2007.

The couple has roots in West Coast media.  She is an NBC affiliate and Johnson as a freelance food and restaurant writer, blogger, including long stints with San Diego Magazine as its main food writer and editor.

When the pandemic hit early 2020, the publication ceased publication only to return as mainly an online presence later in the year.

During my time with the publication, I didn't meet Troy, but he is highly respected and I can see him taking the first city magazine in America (non-New Yorker) to new heights of success.

Now, we return to our previously scheduled vacation.  

VACATION TIME FOR PILLARTOPOST.ORG

Vacation Time from 11-1-2021 to 11-11-2021

Eleven years ago our daily online magazine site was founded and until today we have not missed one day of publishing our brand of general interest features: one day at a time.

PillartoPost does not accept advertising or unsolicited articles because our brand is a staff-driven labor of love that champions general interest publications of the past like Life, Look, Colliers, MacLean's, Reader's Digest, the Saturday Evening Post, and others.

From today until 11-11-2021 we will take 11 days off for some earned vacation time.

Thanks for tuning in.

See you soon.

Thank you from the Staff of PillartoPost.org
