A timeout to say hello and thanks

Thanks to everyone who has visited the blog and told your friends, family and neighbors about it. Those of you that have emailed or tweeted me about it, I really appreciate it! Your tips on the neighborhood are invaluable and extremely appreciated.

In this first month of existence, I’ve added a few things here and there to “gussy it up” as they say. I’ve added new images to the header of the site; they’re are about 30 in total that randomly rotate in there. If your favorite Richmond landmark is missing, let me know and I’ll photograph it and add it in! Or if you’re willing to lend me a photo you took, let me know.

I also added a Videos section that lists out the various videos I’ve produced for blog posts. So pop in there to see what’s playing when you have a spare moment. I also added a Shop section which has info and links to the Richmond District neighborhood gear that is offered by the Western Neighborhoods Project. The WNP puts any proceeds from sales back into their preservation efforts which is a great thing.

And if you aren’t already, please follow the blog on Twitter. I don’t twitter that often, mostly to let followers know when a new blog post is up or when I see or hear about an interesting event happening in the neighborhood. Thank you to those followers who have jumped on early – I really appreciate the support and re-tweeting. 🙂

And last but most importantly, please comment and please share! I know you’re reading the articles, but it helps me to know what you think about them. Do you agree or disagree with a post? Have any extra info or opinion about something? To comment, just click the “Comment” link at the bottom of each article. To share an article with friends via email, Twitter, Facebook etc., click the “Share this” link at the end of a post for all your options.

If you ever have a general comment about the blog, a tip about news or an event or just need to contact us for any reason, please do!
