Mornin’!

Earlier this summer, we published a few interviews with local business owners on the island (you can view them here). We’ve received some positive feedback on these interviews and are considering doing it more frequently (maybe 1-2x per month). BUT we wanted to ask for your input first! Taking the poll below will help us shape the direction of things to come. Thanks in advance.

Would you be interested in more interviews with local business owners and additional LBI-related long-form content pieces?

P.S. 🥳 In the craziness of last week, we forgot a few birthday shout-outs. Wishing a very Happy Belated Birthday (on 8/12) to Cathy M. and (on 8/14) to Nancy K.!

Now, here’s what’s happening this week…
