Dear Jean,
Thanks for taking the time to give us feedback on Amy Taylor’s reporting of the anticipated reopening of Wild Run Brewery.

I hope you’re enjoying your Sunday morning while managing to stay dry. Rain is in the forecast as we finish the weekend and begin the new work week on Monday.
As we look back on the week that was and share with you the top five most-read stories on Potomac Local News. I’ll also take a moment to review the week that was.

The most common response we heard from our readers who replied to our 2019 reader/subscriber survey: We want more local news.
When it comes to our premium subscription content tier, the news was good. More than half of the people who responded (56%) said they feel as if the price they pay for the service ($6 a month or $65 a year) is a fair price for the value they get.
We’ve added two new sections to our morning email newsletter.
Starting today, you’ll notice the weather forecast at the top of the morning email. We make it easy to see what Mother Nature has in store for you for the next seven days. Our weather forecast is sponsored by OmniRide.
Raising a child in our community shouldn’t be a thankless job.
Many parents are working to raise strong, responsible children who will one day be the leaders of our community. With all the talk of “millennials” and the troubles of the world today, this fact is easily overlooked.
It is one of my favorite days of the year — Christmas Eve — a time full of wonder, magic, and memories.
For so many, so much is possible on this day. Reuniting with family and friends, making new ones, serving your neighbors, and giving to the less fortunate are just some of the things that spring to mind on this day.

We’re about to say goodbye to 2018 and hello to a brand new year.
And as we do this time every year, we’re getting ready to take a look back at the biggest stories of the year based on the number of views each story received on our website.

I believe email newsletters are the future of our local media business.
At Potomac Local, we’ve had a morning email newsletter since 2011. Two years ago, we renamed it “Breakfast Links” and its popularity skyrocketed.
In this day and age of social media, if you would have told me 10 years ago that email would still the most trusted form of online communication, I would have laughed at you.
Well, you would have been right.

I want to thank Experimac Manassas for sponsoring this series of posts and allowing a guy to reflect on using his first Macintosh computer as a child, and to write about using my new-to-me Mac, my first in more than 20 years. See them for all your Mac, iPhone and computer needs.
I remember it like it was yesterday.
