There's never been a generation quite like the Baby Boomer generation. Yes, others had wars and hard times (worse wars and worse hard times) but no other generation has encountered such enormous societal change; changes we either welcomed, hated, wrestled with, adjusted to, or puzzled over. Every one of those movements affected each of us in both ordinary and extraordinary ways, impacted our education and work, our families and relationships, our communities and spiritual life, our health and even our free time! Now, as Baby Boomers age, begin to retire, or enter late stages of their careers, we find ourselves in a world of change - selfies or Facebook certainly didn't exist twenty years ago! But here at BoomAthens, we strive to be a resource to help Baby Boomers from all walks of life stay active, engaged, and informed. Boom Athens is a lifestyle magazine for people 50 plus who live in greater Athens and the surrounding counties. Contents include "the best" calendar of events for our crowd, arts & entertainment reviews, health and fitness advice, and essays on the great societal changes we've lived through, plus profiles of trailblazers, memoirs, even poetry. While some readers are part of the Baby Boom generation, others are older, and even a little younger. Advertiser-supported, Boom Athens is a FREE magazine in print and online, with regular e-mail updates.
