On Aug. 20, we were celebrating 150,000 lifetime pageviews on Altadenablog.  Today, we have substantially passed that! (Amazing what a little fire will do!)

Thank you to our local advertisers, an amazing group of local people and businesses who believe in supporting your local news site — tell 'em thank you!  Thank you to all of those who've supported us through the tip jar (on the right) — a response that helped us upgrade our bandwidth during the fires, and will bring us a little closer to the break-even point.  Thanks to all of those who are sending good content our way — Bill Westphal (community spirit incarnate!), Monica Hubbard, the Altadena librarians, our eye in the sky Chris Considine, Lori, Ben, Molly, Jeff, Lance and the entire Altadena Arts Coalition, Carolyn Seitz, Alice Wesson, Gino Sund, Bob Klomburg and the SSGA, Capt. Blow & Lt. Sanchez, and many, many others, including the raft of on-the-ground citizen-reporters during the Station Fire.  We salute you all!

We love this work.  We love Altadena!
