Next Stop…Riggs Park is three years old! I published the very first post on December 5, 2012, introducing this new blog to the community. Thank you very much to each person who reads, follows, leaves a comment, sends an email, or drops a tip. It has been fun getting to know residents through the blog. To the regulars, you all are awesome. I hope I have been able to inform and provide a platform for residents to share news and thoughts on neighborhood happenings in this little pocket of DC.

You might have noticed posting has become less regular and less frequent. That is mainly because of my day job. Working longer hours leaves less time to attend meetings, peruse information sources, and create blog content. A couple of people have been great about sending me notes from ANC meetings in particular when I cannot make it. They like to remain anonymous, but I have to give a big thanks to them. I told myself when I started that if I could not post on a regular basis, then I would stop. All that preface to say, I am not sure what I will do with the blog. There is still a lot happening in the neighborhood; lots of changes are still in store, so I think there is still a need for a place where people can go for information. To that end, I will put in a plug for the Lamond-Riggs community listserv (which I moderate with two other people), Lamond Riggs Citizens Association’s website, and LRCA’s facebook and twitter pages, which I also maintain with a few other people. I encourage residents to join, follow, and post to all of these sources. And if there is anyone who wants to write guest posts for the blog, email me at nextstopriggs@gmail.com. For now, I will continue to post when I can.

Thanks for reading.
