A message from Hub, Official Spokescat for the Fan District Hub:
This list of blog links below provides instant access to a smorgasbord of local and regional takes on culture and/or politics, as well as slices of their own lives. This isn’t to say any particular blog is right or wrong on any given topic. It is to say they generally do a good job of presenting a worthwhile point of view on a range of topics. Moreover, they are rather independent thinkers who don’t appear to be shilling for a massive corporation or political think tank.
Mostly they are bloggers who write well and tend not to rant too much. For those who are closest to the edge of ranting too much, they usually manage do it stylishly enough they made the list anyway. (This list will be subject to frequent updates.) The other lists below explain themselves.
