Edge of Seventeen

A favorite from the EVG archives

Tomorrow (Dec. 21) marks the 17th anniversary of this site. (We rehashed how it started last year. And the year before.)

So, we want to reflect on the journey we've shared. This milestone is a testament to the vibrant community that keeps us going daily, for better or worse. 

Thank you to our frequent contributors, Derek Berg and Steven, for their steady stream of photos and tips. And a big shout-out to Stacie Joy, whose dedication to capturing the stories of our local businesses and residents is nothing short of remarkable.

We want to express our gratitude to you, our readers, for fueling this site with your passion and support.

Thank you for reading, sharing your thoughts, sending tips, and joining us in mourning the losses and celebrating the wins that shape our neighborhood. This site works because of you. We truly couldn't do it without you. 

Thank you to our friend Stevie for the headline inspiration.

I legit don't even know who runs this site and I never want to. All I know is you are ALL awesome. What an incredible microblog. I don't know how you keep it up and stay so consistent.
