This issue of the Yokohama Seasider marks our 16th anniversary! It feels good to have committed to something for so long, especially a publication in the service of the community. It hasn’t always been easy, but we’ve been buoyed by our long-term sponsors. Please thank them and/or patronize their businesses. They appreciate your support as much as we do theirs, and they’re a really decent bunch of people, too. They care about this city and want to make it thrive. Like we’ve said many times over the years: Together, we make Yokohama an even better place.
