A Little Love for South Point from a Gazette Writer
Phillip Gardner, a sportswriter for the Gaston Gazette had a couple of nice things to say about the Red Raider game versus Ashbrook the other night.
A little love offering perhaps for the gushiness expressed for Gastonia schools over the last several years perhaps?
Who knows?
Don’t like paying $5 to park in the neighborhood? COME EARLY and tailgate ! If you wrote more stuff about Belmont area sports in a more loving tone, like what is usually reserved for Forestview and Ashbrook, maybe someone would let young Mr. Gardner park for free.
NOT !
Really, to be fair, we think Mr. Gardner does a wonderful job of covering sports in Gaston County. He makes an effort to attend the games, and get a feel for the players and coaches in his articles.
A little love goes a long way in selling papers…
Thank You Readers
Our compilation/commentary blog about Belmont community activities and people must have hit a nerve.
Some quick facts – readership is averaging just over 300 views per day (That is better than the rack sales of the Gazette and Banner at Jerry’s). Soccer articles get the most hits, followed by political stories and comments.
No real surprises there, we have people who like both of those things making contributions to the blog.
October is the “Political Month”, and we hope to give a bit of focus on the city council race, the bond referendums, and a nod to county/other town politics as well.
Please leave a comment on the articles that hit you, or move you. We appreciate you giving us a read.
Sorry About That
The picture files were inadvertantly deleted after an editorial board meeting this AM (’round here, we call that a cup of coffee).
We will repost them by this evening. Sorry for any inconvenience.
