"THANK YOU ESCONDIDO for your incredible response to the first issue of the Escondido Magazine. We were very humbled, excited, and proud that we had produced a publication that would be so warmly received and embraced by the community it was representing. As one advertiser commented, 'You set the bar pretty high. How will you top it?' Well, here it is!"
