The secret's out

Thanks to a thoughtful article in tomorrow's News Connection, I'm afraid the days of this blog being one of Flower Mound's exclusive insider secrets are over. I appreciate reporter Janene Nielsen coming over to the flowermoundroad.com headquarters (my living room) to ask me good questions about this site, and then faithfully writing a story that's quite in perspective to what this blog aspires to be. Which is not to be a replacement for our good neighborhood newspapers and the larger Dallas media, but to be a little site that fills in the blanks, drills down for deeper content, and starts a conversation about the things that matter most to us.

Turns out, Janene has lived in Flower Mound twice as long as I have. She remembers the time before even the Kroger was built -- I think she said that spot is where the police station used to be.

It will be interesting to see how many people will sample this site after reading the article, which is not separately linkable online but can be downloaded as part of the entire week's issue via thenewsconnection.com. Right now, this site is getting each day about 150 visitors and just under 100 unique visitors. We'll see where it goes from here.
