New Girl In Town Blogs About Life In Evanston

Welcome to town, Lisa Degliantoni (a.k.a. Evanston Newbie)!

If you’ve ever wondered what bloggers do, check out this one written by Lisa Degliantoni, a self-proclaimed Evanston Newbie.  Degliantoni and her family moved here this past summer from El Paso, Texas, and her blog captures snippets of their new life here in town.

What I like most about the blog is its appeal to a range of readers. I’m certain Degliantoni’s friends in El Paso get a good taste of what her Evanston life is like; additionally, folks like me (who’ve lived here for many years) get to see the city through a whole new lens.  And, Degliantoni writes in an honest, succinct style which I really appreciate.

Degliantoni's blog demonstrates the fact that blogs are far more than personal diaries laid open to the eyes of web surfers: great blogs are vehicles which share information in an informal, approachable way, and Degliantoni does it beautifully.
