Happy New Year… 2010 is a big year, Olympics, World Cup and all that….
So welcome back for the first post of year seven here on the internets.
I trust everyone had a happy new year? If you had a really happy one, then you might be reading this on the 2nd. 😉
As you can probably imagine, running this site is almost a full time job on its own. So, with several things on my plate for 2010 that need to be done, I am going to ease into a reduced posting schedule for the new year.
As I did this summer (and as it was in the early years of the site too…), in 2010, International Metropolis will be coming to you thrice weekly. Look for fun, new, informative posts here every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I’m sure you liked the five times a week content, but hey, the site is free, and a guaranteed three posts a week, is way more than you get at some other local blogs.
There is also a book in the works. Details will emerge as it gets closer to being done, but hopefully if all goes well, you’ll be able to add a copy to your wish list for Christmas 2010. If that project is ever going to get underway/completed, I need to lighten the load here… 🙂
Lastly, if you’ve been waiting to get down to the Art Gallery to see the Streetcar show, your time is almost up. The show closes the 3rd.
So enjoy the weekend, see you back here Monday.

sounds good Andrew! but....now what am i supposed to do at work?
Work extra hard Tuesday's and Thursday's... ;)
What other lazy "local blogs" are you referring to, Andrew? ')
I never called any of those blogs "lazy"
Do you resemble that remark? ;)
A quick look through the blogroll at W-E Speak will lead you to dozens of blogs that are rarely or very infrequently updated. Scaledown, while slacking a bit on the posting, is not what I had in mind. Hopefully we'll see the return of some of the missing scaledown "team" in 2010.
Hi, Andrew! Sylvain and I made it to the AGW today and saw your photos. Excellent job!
No matter how many times you post, it remains one of the most interesting blogs. Keep up the good work and I look forward to the 2010 content. Thank you for an interesting 2009. Happy New Year.
no matter how many times a week, its better than none at all
and, like VP and others say, its the best site.
Look forward to whatever you send, also look forward to that book!!!
Just think of the productivity gains to be enjoyed by employers across the land on those off days!
