That’s how Benji Lanyado kicks off his guide to the best in home-grown city blogs in the Guardian. He goes on: “Even in the world’s most media-saturated cities—where there are thousands of pages of listings, tips and reviews—there are hundreds of bedroom bloggers doing it for themselves. Often nobody is telling them what to write or paying them for their time, which makes for some of the most original content online.”

Gotta love city bloggers.  I look at my local blogs every day to keep up with the haps around my neighborhood.  Who wouldn’t?

It’s nice to feel some city love coming our way. I use to think bigger and national was better, but now I’m seeing the intimate value of doing it local and bonding with your community.
