Inside America's SINKING Town (Before It Disappears)



Inside America's SINKING Town (Before It Disappears)

Hey there Reader,

There’s a tiny community in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay with no bridge to the mainland, a mail boat that delivers many of life’s necessities, and water that is never far from anyone’s front door.

Tangier Island has already lost much of its land. Entire communities that once stood nearby are now underwater. But despite the shoreline moving closer, the people who call Tangier home are still fighting to remain.

We flew to the island and spent two days getting to know the watermen, families and lifelong residents who have built their lives around the Chesapeake. What began as a story about a disappearing island became a much deeper question: what makes a place worth fighting for even when its future is uncertain?

Go make the memory,
Cole + Emily

So we decided to spend a day there and see what life is actually like on the other side but what surprised us most wasn’t the golf...

Inside America's Rarest Honey Harvest Hey Reader, This week’s video started with one jar of honey. While filming along Florida’s Forgotten Coast, we picked up a jar of Tupelo honey and immediately understood why people talk about it differently. It didn’t taste like any honey we’d ever had. That jar led us to Wewahitchka, Florida, where America’s rarest honey harvest happens for only a tiny window each spring. The Tupelo bloom lasts about two weeks, and everything has to line up perfectly. So...

Inside America's Forgotten Coast This week’s video takes us along one of the most unspoiled coastlines in America, the Forgotten Coast. We had one day to explore 80 miles of small towns, empty beaches, seafood history, old Florida charm, and the kind of places that still feel like they belong to the people who built them. We started in Carrabelle, where we found the world’s smallest police station, met locals who remember when the seafood industry was booming, and quickly realized this...
