And that's a wrap on 2009 for us! It's been an amazing year for us, our fifth year in existence and our biggest so far with more readers than ever and we're gearing up for another spectacular year in 2010. Thanks to all of you - our readers - for making the hard work worthwhile. You might not always agree with us - and you've never been ones to hold back when you do! - but your continued readership, along with our ever-growing love of this city and all its charm (and in spite of its drawbacks), is why we keep at it, day-in and day-out and has pushed us to work harder to make the site even better. Without you, we're just shoutin' into the wind.

We know 2009 has also been a challenging, rough one for a lot of you (and many of us). But here's hoping 2010 is a bounce back year. We're still here, we'll continue to be, and we hope you keep coming back to see it along with us as we grow.

Thanks again and however you choose to celebrate tonight, be safe, have a Happy New Year, and we'll see you right back here tomorrow morning to get a jump-start on 2010.
