First Post

I'd like to use this first post a means to tell you what we are going to be writing about and why we are doing it.

We are starting off with about 4 different authors to the site and more will be added as we go. Each of us will have a different expertise, whether it's neighborhood sports, politics, history, etc. We'd like to have authors of all age ranges eventually to give different perspective on neighborhood issues.

We are hoping to reach out to all West End / Elliott residents, former residents, and business owners and bring everyone together to one place for information on events, news, issues, etc.
We are going to try to keep this site about West End / Elliott only, but we'll occasionally scamper into the neighborhoods of Sheraden and Crafton Heights as sometimes the lines blur and issues are to hard to ignore as they usually affect all of us.

You will see links to news stories from the Post-Gazette, Tribune Review, KDKA, WTAE, WPXI, and many others. You will also read about road projects (West End Circle work anyone), street paving, local sports from the Elliott West Athletic Association, road closings, and many many other items. We are hoping to hear from you and tell us how to make the site better. What do the residents want to read about? Someday we'd like to have a weekly Q&A posting and possibly a police blotter.

Please make all of your friends and family aware of this new site and make it a favorite. We'd like this to be one of the sites you visit everyday!
