A\u00a0valuable historical piece of land was threatened by a big box retail store early in 2008.\u00a0 As a result of the threat, I got involved in an advocacy project to save the property, but I couldn’t get print media to cover the story.\u00a0 After trying for months, while watching the situation\u00a0deteriorate, I turned\u00a0to a practical alternative, a blog called\u00a0Someone Noticed<\/a>.\u00a0 All at once I’d become\u00a0a blogger with a cause.<\/p>\n

The weblog served its purpose by creating far more attention\u00a0on the proposal than I would\u00a0have ever have been able to\u00a0create in a newspaper.\u00a0 I’m now happy to report that the property is no longer at risk since the\u00a0the town has stopped persuing the development interest.<\/p>\n
