I am not sure how I never heard of this site, but it is great!. I live in south Seattle (98118) and it is awesome to get neighborhood news like this. Thanks Fred for another enlightening day!

Hi Fred-

Speaking of Pier 40, I received the following email from the Greenwich Village Society for Historical Preservation (www.gvshp.org) this morning:

Urge New Hudson River Park Trust President to Reject "Vegas-on-the-Hudson": This summer, the Pier 40 Working Group of the Hudson River Park Advisory Board voted overwhelmingly to reject Related Companies' plan for a huge "Vegas-on-the-Hudson" style development on Pier 40 (see www.gvshp.org/Pier40.htm). This summer Governor Spitzer also appointed Diana Taylor as the new President of the Board of the Hudson River Park Trust, the body which, along with the City Planning Commission and the City Council, must ultimately approve this proposal in order for it to become a reality. A decision by the Hudson River Park Board on the Pier 40 is expected as early as this fall. GVSHP recently wrote to the new Trust President Diana Taylor to welcome her to her new position, and to strongly urge her to reject the Related Companies' mega-development plan for Pier 40, which we believe would have such a negative impact (see www.gvshp.org/documents/Pie....

HOW TO HELP:

WRITE TO NEW HUDSON RIVER PARK TRUST PRESIDENT DIANA TAYLOR URGING HER TO REJECT RELATED COMPANIES' "VEGAS-on-the-HUDSON" plan for Pier 40 -- go to www.gvshp.org/Pier40let.htm for a sample letter you can use.

Thought you might want to pass along the info.

You blogged about this website in the past, and I remember thinking it was a cool idea.

Then recently, I moved, and remembering your post, I searched for the location-based blog finder thingie. I couldn't find it anywhere. I even searched your blog pretty extensively, but couldn't locate it. Try googling "blog location service" or "blog by zip code"....

Searching Outside.In definitely makes it better, but searching FOR Outside.In needs to be easier, too. (Don't ask me how to do this!)

Also, why not open it up for more cities/places? I now live in Stamford, CT and would love to see a page for Stamford blogs, even (especially) if mine is the only one)!

Recently, coming into NYC late in the evening I found myself craving a burrito. Weird, maybe, but I absolutely needed one. Quick trip to outside.in... and I found a local place blogged burrito joint. Completely fulfilled my craving.

Check out Walkscore.com relative to your outside.in deal. Interesting little app for realtors or perhaps visitors to a neighborhood.
