Deuces!


Local Townie turns TWO years old today and it's not so hard to believe when I look back at all that has happened. I flipped through my old posts to see my transitions from grad student to young professional, Tanzania to Kentucky, and one of the townies to single girl living on her own.

For some people, the world wide web is for their personal ego boosts.  They need a certain number of "likes" and "reposts" to validate their internet worth.  But that's not what Local Townie is about.  I blog in order to know that I am living to the fullest-- doing what the locals do (whether at home or traveling), investing in a community of friends (whether down the street or across the country), and taking time to have a little fun (hoping you'll join me or follow in my footsteps).

"...spilling some of my personal life and keeping you up to date on the generally ridiculous nature of my life." -Local Townie 4/11/2010


I knew that when I started a blog that I needed to have a schtick so that it would be worth reading.  I am always surprised when people tell me that they read Local Townie.  I am even more surprised when I see the statistics, google results, and geography of people reading my blog.  I am absolutely dumbfounded when strangers tell me that they have read my blog!

Get EXCITED because I'm fixing to start a whole new chapter of adventures in Washington DC, but not before I hit a few travel destinations and my KY Bucket List.  Thanks to my readers for all your love and support!

As always, keep it local.
