EVG at 18

Dec. 21 (TODAY) marks the 18th anniversary of this site. (Origin story of sorts.) 

Eighteen years is a long time for anything on the internet, especially something fueled by reader tips, neighborhood curiosity, favorite storefronts, cool signage and fonts, and, obviously, late-in-the-year Christmas tree discards.

This milestone belongs to the community that keeps EV Grieve going every day, for better or worse.
A heartfelt thank-you to contributor Stacie Joy for her steady stream of stories and interviews, photos, and sharp eyes on the street. And an extra shout-out to Derek Berg and Steven for their ongoing contributions. 

And to you, the readers and residents, thank you for reading, checking in, sending tips, sharing your thoughts, and trusting this space as a record of neighborhood life. 

We've mourned losses together. We've celebrated small wins. We've watched blocks change, sometimes overnight.

Here’s to year 18 ... and whatever it brings... and until the day this sign hangs on the site...
