In the August cover story, Meridian Life magazine talks with Linda Candelo, an Emmy-winning TV journalist who has traded big city living for a slower pace of life in the Queen City. She and her husband, Joseph Rossini, purchased the old Vise building in downtown Meridian, which is now locally famous for its four-story, eye-catching mural of native son Jimmie Rodgers. This edition also features Northwood chef Henry Countiss, who is spicing up the dining scene at the country club; the Meridian Corvette Club and its members’ love for America’s first sports car; a new Walter Anderson exhibit planned at the Mississippi Arts + Entertainment Experience; Jan Cade, who makes unique, one-of-a-kind jewelry from vintage pieces; teenager Joy Kitchens and her pillowcase project that is bringing smiles to the faces of pediatric patients at Children’s of Mississippi; and a look at Cleveland, Mississippi, and what it offers in a day trip in Along for the Ride. The August edition of Meridian Life, produced by The Meridian Star, is free and available at many area retail and business locations, as well as the newspaper office in downtown Meridian while supplies last. Additionally, a link to the digital version of Meridian Life can be found meridianstar.com.
