Golden History: 18 Golden Years
February marked the 18th Anniversary of Golden Today. Thank you to Tracy Evanko, who’s been maintaining the calendar for most of that time. Thanks to the talented photographers who supply the delightful Golden Eye Candy. Thanks to the readers, who keep me informed and entertained with their correspondence and running commentary. And a BIG thank you to the sponsors and contributors who make it all possible.
I began the website and email with the desire to help Golden’s cultural organizations. In 2007, there was no single, reliable place to help spread the word about their events, so I created one.
Eventually I began paying more attention to city government. It seemed that citizens never learned about plans until it was too late to provide input. For that reason, I began writing detailed previews of upcoming meetings.
I also believe that an unwatched government is a more expensive government, so I do my best to keep Golden citizens informed about City spending and borrowing.
In 2020, in an effort to keep people entertained during the pandemic shutdown, I began writing daily articles about Golden History, Frankly, I hadn’t intended to keep it up for five years, but here I am.
Obsessively-local news isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but it seems to appeal to my audience. I often hear that Golden people start their day by reading “What’s Happening in Golden?” I can state that my audience is either insomniac or super-early risers. On any given day, 1100-1200 people read it—most of them before 7AM. A surprising number open it the minute it goes out, at 3AM.
Tomorrow I’ll start my 19th year of telling you What’s Happening in Golden!
Thanks for reading.
