InDecatur catches word that Decatur’s mayor has started his own blog!

After stipulating that “This is being done by me personally and has no official , or unofficial for that matter, ties to the city”, the mayor invites comments from all guests.

This should be an interesting endeavor. If people don’t abuse this direct line to the mayor’s inbox, it will be an excellent way to gauge his reaction on a variety of topics affecting our city.

His first thoughts are on a city of Dunwoody; a topic I’ve cited the mayor on a couple times in the past few weeks.

Make sure to check out BillFloydDecatur.com! I know I’ll be a frequent visitor.

SLIGHT ASIDE: It’s been interesting to see how the city government and other orgs have adjusted to work (and deal) with the Decatur blogs since we launched last year. While we both started out as just little voices in a big old internet, I continue to be amazed by the people, news orgs and residents that have contacted me personally because of this blog. And now the mayor has started a blog!

As the mayor states in his first post “when used properly, [blogs] have value”. I couldn’t agree more. But figuring out the definition of “properly” is a constant challenge.

Good luck Mr. Mayor.

Wordsmiths is out of the old Post Office building (with only one casualty) and is gearing up to open in the old Trust/new Wordsmiths building this Friday, March 28th at 9am.

Sounds like they have lots of events planned for this weekend, including a raffle for a $100 Wordsmiths gift card, free food from Avondale’s Sweet ‘n Sinful bakery and the 5th annual Edible book festival.

Don’t just read books, eat them too!

Yum…I love binding paste.
