An interesting list from the year 2014.

- North DeKalb Mall Sold, “Open-Air Concept” Planned
- Decatur Police Investigate Murder After Body Found in Downtown Decatur
- Decatur Police Issue Warrant in Karen Pearce Murder Case
- Mellow Mushroom Closing Posting Causes Confusion

- New Annexation Map, Decatur Looks to Add Commercial/Industrial Property, Clean Up Borders
- Big Tex Cantina Announces It is Closing
- Smith Ace Hardware Closing To Make Way for Development
- Decatur City Commission Tables Proposed Tree Ordinance

We get riled up about development and closings. Contrary to the common belief that we are all obsessed with strollers and schools, none of the top 10 were exclusively about schools, education, CSD, children.
Is this a list of most read, or most commented on? And to your point AHID, there were so many posts about schools and annexation, no single one could probably crack the top ten.
It’s a most clicked list. Why things are clicked obviously varies. Comments, organic search, referrals etc.
The Dekalb farmers market post had staying power over time. I think that’s why it ultimately rose to the top.
Yeah, I remember going back and reading and responding to many branches of comments on that post over the better part of a week. But I also remember that being a slow week otherwise and that post sitting on the front page for a long time, making it easy to go back to it (and for others to find it). I’m sure a few of these topics saw boosted clickthroughs due to appearing in slower weeks. Not trying to make a point necessarily. Just interesting.
