From the Republic:
Your first haboob. Light rail in other cities. Where to see good art.
These topics are regularly hashed out on a collective blog focused solely on the Valley. The site, Phoenix Metroblogging, turned 1 year old Wednesday. And to celebrate, the Weblog has been counting down 30 things to love about Phoenix.
And yes, haboob is on the list, with loving the transient nature of residents as No. 1.
Metroblogging is one of several hyperlocal, city-specific Web sites in 49 cities around the world. The site generates a daily feed of headlines from its members, so one could read postings from Dubai to Houston to Tokyo. Content isn’t filtered or edited.
In Phoenix, the blog draws together different perspectives from throughout the Valley.
Phoenix Metroblogging has that Alt-Phx kind of pomo vibe that can wear thin the further you get from the Melrose Curve. Indecipherable? Precisely! Even so, enGoogled, “the top 30 things I love about Phoenix” is fun reading.
