Thanks for an online readership milestone
I began this blog four months ago, and it already has been read more than 50,000 times, as of yesterday afternoon. That pales in comparison to the daily readership of columns that appear in the newspaper and those posted directly on kentucky.com, but it’s not a bad start.
Even better, though, is that readers have left more than 730 comments so far. Like any online forum, this blog has its share of anonymous trolls. But most of those leaving comments are behaving themselves. Some are using their real names, which I encourage. And many, many readers on all sides of various issues have left thoughtful, passionate comments that have enriched our civic conversation. That’s the goal.
I’m leaving soon for Fancy Farm in Graves County, looking forward to a weekend of lively political debates and some of the best barbecue around. Watch the Herald-Leader, Kentucky.com and this blog Saturday and Sunday for reports on both.

Tom, thanks to you and Kentucky.com aka the Herald Leader for publishing this blog. I suspect that I’m not the only displaced Kentuckian who reads with more than a little nostalgia and considerable interest in how Kentucky generally and Lexington in particular have changed.
