I'm back in Pittsburgh after several weeks of traveling, and thanks go to Joe Polk in particular for posting here regularly (and also for extending the brand, via bloglebo.com). I have a lot of catching up to do, but I also want to note that the blog is approaching its one-year anniversary.
Over the year, BlogLebo has combined a number of functions -- collecting and reporting news about Mt. Lebanon from other sources; collecting and reporting comments and commentary about Mt. Lebanon from residents; and reporting our own comments about Mt. Lebanon. Inevitably, it seems, the blog seems to tend toward the negative: what's wrong with the School Board/the Commission/the Parking Authority, etc. etc.
Where criticism is deserved, it should be floated, and there has been much to criticize around Mt. Lebanon over the last couple of years.
However, the good news doesn't always get the publicity it deserves, and by good news I mean everything from the accomplishments of our friends and neighbors to significant milestones for the township as a whole.
So, as BlogLebo gets set to start year two, here's a request to readers and commenters: please send us suggestions, notes, and links to the good stuff, too. Thanks.

Welcome Back Mike!
You are right - - - we should not forget all the good things that happen here in MTL. It is a great place to live - if it wasn't we would live somewhere else.
Much of what makes it a great place is our collective Community values.
If you think about it - - We value the dignity and well-being of our neighbors, the education of our children, the vitality of our family and friends, the character and prosperity of our community, our natural resources, recreation and leisure.
These (and other) Community values have built the Community we enjoy today.
It's not the bricks and mortar - it's the folks.
