Post 1, Day 1
Hello dear reader, this is a new blog about news and events in Grand Forks, N.D.
I'm a City Hall reporter at the Grand Forks Herald, the area's main daily newspaper. I write mostly about city politics, taxes and economic development.
Sometimes, when an off-beat story strikes my fancy, I'll take a detour from my usual coverage.
This blog is meant as a kind of supplement to my reporting. I hope to use it to discuss the background of some of the stories I write -- things that don't fit easily in a newspaper story -- and solicit feedback. From time to time, I expect I would go off topic because even news junkies need a break from news.
By the way, full disclosure: I was inspired to put a blog up after reading a couple of blogs by fellow area news junkies, GrandForksGuy and Dakota Huseby. I liked the casual way they and their readers were able to approach topics that I usually cover in a more formal way in my stories.
