This issue of WPB Magazine features Allie Kirschner, a West Palm Beach artist who builds her birds one magazine clipping at a time, layering color and texture into gilded portraits that are already finding their way into galleries and private collections.
We visited the murals and street art that have quietly been turning West Palm Beach into an open-air gallery and unlocking downtown. Then, drove north from downtown and arrived in Nora, a district that runs along North Railroad Avenue and has the potential to become a go-to gem for locals.
We widened the lens into Lynora’s fifty-year family story.
And our travel section this issue makes the case we find ourselves making every summer: that Florida is larger, stranger, and more rewarding than most of us have bothered to find out. Our travel writer, Julia Harper, went looking for the version of this state that hides a few hours up the road, and she found it.
Also, don’t miss in-depth features, quarterly columns, shopping trends, interviews, dining reviews, a crossword (available to fill out online), and more.
Every story in this issue comes back to the same proposition: that being fully yourself, in this city, at this moment, is not just possible. It’s something to celebrate.
