St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands (March 12, 2025) — Part lifestyle magazine part destination guide, St Croix This Week magazine has been showcasing the island’s twin cities of Christiansted and Frederiksted and all points in between for 54 years. The magazine is published by Metro Caribbean, whose connection to the magazine and the U.S. Virgin Islands dates back more than 26 years when the publishing enterprise was acquired from founder Margot Bachman.
Susan Wall retires after 16 years at the helm of St. Croix This Week magazine that has been showcasing the island for 54 years.
Editor and General Manager Susan Wall has been the woman behind the book for 16 years. She has curated content to celebrate St. Croix and helped hundreds of local businesses reach island residents and visitors alike each month.
Wall is retiring this month.
“Susan is amazing. She has overseen the content, production and distribution of the magazine while at the same time partnering with local businesses to make sure their messaging has impact,” says Publisher Charlotte Atkins. “She has been the lifeblood of the publication and there are not words enough to express how much she has meant to this community and to our company.”
Wall wrapped up her tenure with St. Croix This Week by producing the April-May 2025 edition of the magazine, having published close to 100 bimonthly editions over the years.
“Being the managing editor and GM of St. Croix This Week has been an honor, challenging me in new ways and pushing my needle in a wonderful direction!” said Wall. She recalls “coming to the islands decades ago and having a stewardess, as we called them then, coming down the aisle of the plane with a stack of the’ Pink Sheet’ for St. Croix in one arm, and the ‘Yellow Sheet’ for St. Thomas in the other as she asked each passenger where they were going. Those stapled sheets have come a long way since then.”
Originally just for visitors, the magazine has evolved over the years into a premium, iconic, full-color publication, picked up all over the island by visitors and local residents. Filling the pages with local businesses, events and features – from shopping to staying here, from dining to watersports, and from local art to our Danish connection – it reaches a broad section of the community showing visitors, and those who want to move here, what St. Croix is all about.
Nicole Canegata is the Advertising and Content Manager for the magazine as of January 2026.
