We’re thrilled to welcome you to the very first issue of Stroll Firethorne! This publication is designed with one goal in mind: to celebrate the families, traditions and everyday magic that make Firethorne such a special place to call home.

 

At Stroll, we highlight the people and stories you won’t find with a simple Google search—because this is your hyper-local magazine, written for and by the community. Each month, we’ll spotlight families, young achievers, standout athletes, “Home of the Month,” your beloved pets, and Club events that bring neighbors together. If you’d like to be featured, we’d love to hear from you—just email us at ballantyne@strollmag.com.

 

We’re also proud to share that several local businesses have partnered with us to offer exclusive discounts to Firethorne residents. Be sure to check out the Sponsor Index to discover great local services that support and invest in our community.

 

A little about us—Stroll Firethorne is brought to you by Ashley and Nathan Grimm, publishers of Stroll Ballantyne Country Club which has been running for the past 13 years. We live in Marvin with our two daughters, London (5) and Holland (2.5). We can confidently say that the Charlotte region—especially Waxhaw, Marvin and Ballantyne—is the most beautiful and family-centered area we’ve ever known.

 

This is more than a magazine—it’s your neighborhood’s storytelling hub. We host quarterly community events at local restaurants to connect residents, members and local business owners. We’d love to see you there!

 

Please follow us on IG @strollfirethorne where we will share more stories and preferred local business information. Thank you for welcoming Stroll into your homes and hearts. Let’s build something amazing—together.

 

Warmly,

Ashley & Nathan Grimm
