We miss group blogging. We have been writing for a long time on Twitter and Facebook and NextDoor and over email and neighborhood listservs — and we’ve decided to test out putting everything in one place.

A number of us routinely attend council meetings and boards and commissions, and we’ll put our notes from those here as well, to make it easier for people to follow along. We’ll also provide historical context and help tie news events with previous ones.
