Around Dublin Turns One
Dear Reader,
The Around Dublin Blog turns one today. According to Google Analytics, our blog has had close to 31,000 visits and served over 11,600 unique readers since launch. The Around Dublin Team would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support.
As proud new home owners who are excited about Dublin’s impressive achievements and vast potential, the Around Dublin Team started to read the Staff Reports, follow the City Council meetings, and consult the ever helpful City Staff to learn more about the many exciting developments throughout this beautiful emerald city of Northern California. Once we realized that other residents would be interested in the information we have collected, we started the blog to share what we know, evaluate each project on its own and in the greater context of the city, and provide a forum for interested residents to contribute their perspectives. One of our goals is to report the facts as we see and hear them to the best of our abilities, so residents throughout Dublin may become better informed and help shape the development of our beloved city in a way that we can all be proud of at build-out.
Over the past few months, the Around Dublin Team has received feedback from readers who are concerned about the occasional inaccurate comments made in the heat of the moment. While the Around Dublin Team shares these concerns, we believe our savvy readers can discriminate insightful statements from ill-informed assertions and steer discussions back on topic on their own. We are also grateful to most of our School Board of Trustees, Councilwoman Kasie Hildenbrand, and Vice Mayor Tim Sbranti for their thoughtful participation on controversial topics and engaging the many passionate Dublin residents on this new public forum.
With the help of loyal readers like you, the Around Dublin Blog is now ranked number one in Google and Yahoo organic searches with the key phrase “Around Dublin.” Thank you again for your support, and we look forward to being one of your trusted community resources for years to come.
Sincerely,
Around Dublin Team

Our family much appreciates this Blog. It allows busy Residents a tool to learn more about the City, also to participate in public forums and express their opinions on topics from lite hearted ones to ones that galvanizes the town. Regardless they are very important and add value to being a resident of Dublin.
Regardless of opinions, facts (correct or incorrect) that are posted on this blog, there is no denying that there is a passion and love for the City. People care enough to post their comments here as opposed to not caring and oblivious to what is going on in the City.
