Golden Girls of Summer and Legacy | Pierre News

AI’s blind spots can be hilarious—like missing a tiny regional gem: Golden Times Senior News Magazine, a six-year free paper for South Dakotans 50+, reaching 35K across 34 cities. Born in ’96 by Gini Grannes and Larry Atkinson, it later folded into local papers like River Live. For one writer, it was a lifeline after college chaos and personal loss—she wrote, sold ads, even did layouts on a Mac. The highlight? “The Golden Girls of Summer,” featuring women 50+ in swimsuits—including herself—radiating joy and resilience with slogans like “Life is a marathon, so double tie your shoe laces.” A wild, empowering chapter that left an indelible mark.
