Why Lake Carolina Living?
Each issue is distributed primarily through our interactive digital magazine, with additional options of print-on-demand copies, the LCL Blog, and our email newsletter. This multi-platform approach allows us to serve readers where they are—on screen or in hand—while keeping the content accessible, relevant, and beautifully curated.
Our journey began with what felt like divine confirmation. While browsing at a local Goodwill, our oldest daughter discovered a book that contained a surprising treasure—an original neighborhood newsletter from 2010, also titled Lake Carolina Living. At the time, we had already been dreaming of launching a new community-centered magazine with the same name. That unexpected discovery reminded us that connection, storytelling, and shared purpose have always been part of this neighborhood’s DNA.
A Platform for Community, Creativity & Growth
This magazine is more than a publication—it’s a platform. A place where neighbors can share their stories, local businesses can grow through meaningful visibility, and creativity, culture, and community are celebrated in every season. From everyday wins to extraordinary milestones, Lake Carolina Living captures the heart of life in this vibrant corner of Columbia.
Produced by Gray Music & Media Group (GMG), a family-owned creative company rooted in faith, family, and community, the magazine reflects our passion for curating beautiful, purposeful content that makes an impact.
Lake Carolina Living is here to reflect the best of who we are—through stories that connect and moments that inspire.
*Lake Carolina Living is an independent, community-run magazine designed to bring neighbors together and support local businesses. It is not directly associated with the Lake Carolina community management or administration. Our goal is to foster community connections and celebrate the vibrant local culture.
