A year of Damn Arbor

Today is the one year anniversary of Damn Arbor's official launch. Happy Damn Arbor Day! Rather than dumping a bunch of data from our Analytics on you, I thought I would share some of our favorite articles from the last year with you:
Ben Houston says, "I like our inaugural post: Much Ado About Stuffing. It was topical, edgy, and spoke to the kids." Weren't those the days, pre-porch couch ban?

Quinn said she really liked EJ's post on sexual harassment No, sir, my 'panties' are not for sale

Personally, I really liked EJ's interview with local cartoonist Dave Coverly.

Writing for Damn Arbor has given me some great opportunities over the last year. I got to review albums from local musicians including Alejandra O'Leary and Match by Match. I was invited to an awesome dinner at Wolverine State Brewing Co. And I ran into the Chronicle's Homeless Dave and Mary Morgan at a Charlie Slick concert. I've also met some pretty cool local bloggers.

Writing about Ann Arbor and Michigan has been a great way for me to get reacquainted with my home as an adult. Thank you to everyone who has written for us, commented on our articles, forwarded tips to us and read our articles. You all have made this an incredible and rewarding endeavour.
