About me
I was born in Arlington but grew up in the neighboring town of Mansfield. After living in Mansfield for 24 years, I moved to Arlington in 2007. About five years ago, I started exploring the city and blogging about my discoveries. Some of my favorite Arlington topics include local history, notable people, public art, architecture, cemeteries, and iconic restaurants.
I became interested in local history a few years ago and soon joined the Arlington Historical Society where I serve as board member, newsletter editor, and Facebook admin.
