Many years ago, one of my first jobs in journalism was writing reviews of activities and attractions in Appalacia for a travel magazine. I did many other things writing-wise over the years, but that job remains a golden time for me, and one of my very favourite things that I've done when putting words on paper. Probably because I have a lot of opinions and, as my husband lovingly told me earlier tonight, I'm always right.
Well. I have often thought that one day I'd get back to creating those kinds of reviews, and that is what this website is all about. I moved to Strathmore in late 2008 and have found it to be a lovely little town - just the right mixture of small town appeal with a big enough city nearby that I don't get too bored. I'm still discovering little hidden gems in the neighborhoods and enclaves about the area, and everything here is either going to be about Strathmore or places within a decent driving distance of the town. I'll note mileage/travel time when appropriate to help you calculate your own adventures.
If you have something you think I should review, don't be shy! I'm always happy to receive comments with suggestions and ideas. Drop me a line in the comments section. If you'd like to guest blog for us sometime, do the same. I'll be looking forward to seeing you out and about in Strathmore!
