The Valdosta Chamber Ambassadors were honored to celebrate the new owners of Valdosta Magazine, John and Connie Riddle, with a ribbon cutting recently.
 
The magazine’s fall issue features a beautiful six page tribute to its founding father, affectionately known by the community as “Johnny B.”
 
“We will continue building on the great legacy left by Johnny B. Lastinger while making dynamic changes that will ensure Valdosta Magazine’s position as Valdosta’s premier publication,” said the magazine’s new owner John Riddle.
 
“The future is bright in Valdosta and Valdosta Magazine will be there to document the community’s continued successes and the many fine people who make Valdosta such a special place to live, work, and play!” said Riddle.
 
Valdosta itself is an intriguing assortment of Southern tradition and modern sophistication, and the Riddles hope to reflect that combination in the upcoming editions of Valdosta Magazine.
