The magazine debuted as a community-focused, glossy successor to SouthPark Update, a quarterly publication by real-estate developer The Bissell Companies, with Scott Martin as editor. Martin covered both major community issues and "micro-news," delighting readers with stories like one about a SouthPark resident placing fourth in a baking competition in Florida. After Martin left a year later, the magazine shifted toward luxury living, featuring upscale watches, fine housewares, elite homebuilders, and even luxury dog care.
