Here’s what others have said:

• I love the new Give Page for providing a menu of opportunities for neighbors to give back to the community. citizen mom

• The RVP is a full-course community meal of diverse foods, arts, activities, causes, and crime, nicely seasoned with plenty of snark! erich

• Where else can you bag on the mayor, read a story about a 6 year old girl who helps the homeless, and get a recipe for Unicorn? Mark B

• I don’t have any one-liners nearly as witty as Tasha, erich, and Mark B. But I do have to say the RVP is one of the better community blogs in the city. The content runs the spectrum from fresh neighborhood news, crime, opportunities, volunteering, local business, good eats, entertainment, and let’s not leave out the positive, active participation from community members. The RVP blog really brings us together. Thanks a lot. Mich

• Not sure my favorite thing, I know the neighborhood is much more connected it seems through the Post. Over the years I have been more active in my community through the Post. I have never seen Lindsey Lohan post on the Post. Mark B

• My heart is in the Valley (where I lived for 11 years), but my body had to relocate to the east coast for work last year. My family and I still have many connections to SE Seattle–friends, favorite businesses, a house we plan to move back to someday–and I read the RVP frequently to find out what’s *really* going on in my once and future neighborhood. I am SO grateful to the RVP, because goodness knows the Seattle Times or Crosscut don’t cover the south end for sh*t… Angie

• even though I live on Beacon Hill, I love RVP for the community building it has done. You have given us an opportunity to talk about current events and many other topics with a wide range of neighbors. Because of you, we have helped change our community. Thanks! Mimi Torchia Boothby Watercolors

• The RVP serves a critical role in helping create, extend and expand community within the Rainier Valley and environs. It provides breaking news on events such as accidents, fires, and violence – but more importantly it extends community involvement through its calendar and announcements of important events. Thomas Karwaki

In your own words, what are your favorite RVP moments, stories, discussions?
