County Line Magazine

P.A. Geddie, owner and publisher of her 10-year-old publication –
County Line Magazine moved to downtown Ben Wheeler at the end of 2008. She was among the first business and residential tenants who took a chance on Ben Wheeler Development Company and Ben Wheeler Arts and Historic District Foundation because she believed in both organizations’ efforts. Over a year later, the County Line Magazine has settled in nicely and is an integral part of the downtown revival and revitalization.
