The Nov issue is here and we’re heading to the Shore asap because there is so much to do even though the summer season has ended - but actually, the temps are pretty perfect! We also talk to Eagle Brandon Graham about his farewell tour (is it tho?), the “Relentless School Nurse” who’s fighting gun violence, and did you know NJ’s Health Commissioner is from SOUTH Jersey. That’s amazing, so we had a few questions for her.

True South Jersey natives know that the Shore is just as good – if not better! – in the fall. Without the hustle of peak season, the Shore reveals itself in new ways, whether you’re paddling down calm rivers, wandering through charming coastal towns or immersing yourself in the region’s rich history and arts scene. Sure, you might need a sweater, but that’s just part of the charm.

Every year, the nonprofit organizations in our community roll up their sleeves and get to the work that is required to fulfill their mission which, in one way or another, improves a life – make that, many lives and in many ways.It’s a special kind of person who dedicates their career, and life, to actively helping others. We spoke with some of those passionate people who help people in South Jersey, those who have chosen jobs where the goal is simply todo good. Every day.

Brandon Graham has become one of the most beloved Eagles of all time. After signing a one-year contract last spring, the defensive end announced this would be his final year of play. It’s understandable that in a career that has seen both All-Pro and Pro Bowl appearances, a bounce back from two injuries and a Super Bowl win, Graham is ready to stay off the field. Unless…wait…is he?
