2018'S MOST READ BLOG POSTS

"The 25 Years of Athletes
(May/June 2018) was my
favorite article because I am
not from here and it was fun
reading about all the amazing
athletes from this area. I am
a huge NY Giants fan and
enjoyed watching Tiki Barber
run for them in the late '90s. It
always amazes me how many
great players come from small
towns and cities across the
country."

"November/December 2018 Carolina LaRocca Hammond
home renovation - beautiful
kitchen and bath renovation,
designed by Caroline herself.
But, beyond that, a story with
a much deeper meaning of
love, loss and family."

"Oh my, there were so
many to choose from! As a
parent, the "Digital Daze"
story by Laura Wade (July/
August) addressed a topic
that I felt was extremely
relevant and timely in today's
tech-saturated world. As a pet
lover, the story about suicide
rates among veterinarians
by Jennifer Fenrich (March/
April) gave me a new level of
appreciation for the skilled
professionals we entrust with
the care of our furry family
members. And of course, the
dining coverage in every issue
always leaves me with a list
of new restaurants to try - as
well as an occasional old
favorite to revisit!"
