30 Years of Tallahassee

Tallahassee Magazine turns 30 this year, and in honor of the occasion, we’re revisiting one story from each year the magazine has been published. From plans for the abandoned Waterworks buildings in 1979 to last year’s high-gas-price-inspired bump in bus ridership, it’s a nostalgia trip through the magazine’s pages30 Years of Tallahassee:Take Another Look at Stories From the Past

Every story printed in Tallahassee Magazine is a snapshot of a particular topic in a particular era. We frame the story in its time-specific context and write what we know. But sometimes you want to know what happened next. What happened to Diana, the woman who survived a jump from a plane after her parachute failed her? What happened to the dog who choked on a chicken bone and was rescued by some Good Samaritans? And what about the Southern Shakespeare Festival? Whatever happened to that? Since we’ve just hit our 30th anniversary, we decided it was high time you found out.
