Well, we’ve just gotta blush. The Seattle Weekly’s Best of the Web 2010 nominee list was announced yesterday, and who should we find on list for “Best Neighborhood Blogger”?
Seattle’s Best Neighborhood Blogger
Tracy Record, West Seattle blog
Scott Dunham, Central District news blogNancy Brainard, Seattle P-I/Capitol Hill Blog
Ronald Holden, Belltown/food blogger
Jordan Schwartz, Wallyhood.org
Hey, that’s we…us…me! (This whole “Wallyhood we” thing makes for some awkward constructions sometimes, forgive us).
Given the quality of other nominees, we’re not digging our tux out of storage, but we are honored to have been mentioned. And, should the estimable judging committee (Ben Huh, Chris Pirillo, John Cook, Rachel Ratner, Matt Harding, Ethan Lowry, Florangela Davila, Ryan Henry Ward, and Zibby Wilder) happen to read this, we thought we’d make their tough jobs easier by rolling up a few of what we consider our finer work:
- Our recent series on graffiti: Wallyhood Endorses Vandalism? and Graffiti: The Last Word
- Save Time, Hire an Immigrant
- Go Out Front
- Sagrada Seattle
- What’s in a Name – MLK Day Reflection
- Walmart comes to Wallingford (April 1, 2010)
- Wallingford Secedes! (April 1, 2009)
- Good Pesach
And some simpler posts from the wayback machine:
- Art Walk Date Night
- Schizophasia on 45th St
- Adopt-A-Street (our third post ever!)
Or go ahead and curl up with a with a cup of tea and read ’em all.
Congratulations, Jordan. And thank you!
Woot! Congrats!
Good luck pal!
