“We like to be involved. I don’t think you can be successful in a community like Thomasville if you’re not involved in the community itself.” 96
BLACKWATER TIMBER COMPANY Written by Emilie Kefalas Photographed by Abby Mims Faircloth What grows in a metropolis? The hyperawareness we lend large metropolitan regions produces, too often, a selfmade smoke screen. The allure of cities such as Atlanta, New York and L.A. is in their ability to attract global talent and project the illusion that talent will be nurtured there. In contrast, lesser-known yet more breathable addresses host an undeniable appeal: the opportunity to stand out. Consider Thomasville. Slowly yet steadily across many decades, small businesses put down roots here and not only survived but shared their success with fellow creatives and entrepreneurs. The industries thriving here have their origin in individual creativity, skill and talent. By employing those qualities metaphorically and literally, they have outstanding potential to create jobs. Whether it’s in advertising, architecture, film and television or even publishing, a little passion and elbow grease get you further than meets the eye in Thomasville. With this issue we introduce a series focusing on young entrepreneurs and businesses both familiar and foreign who have become notable Southern self-made industry leaders, teams who took a chance on this town and have subsequently established themselves and integrated themselves in the local community. 97
