Shatty Town! passes the word from Lexington Fayette Urban County, Kentucky.

I am a twenty-five year resident of the inner-Bluegrass. For 15 years of that time, I was publisher of North of Center, a small-time news and commentary site that since 2009 has covered Bluegrass Region history, geography, culture, and politics. Now I publish here at Shatty Town!

Coverage areas include urban development, biking, hiking, paddling, cronyism, parks, higher education, city gardening, and Ohio Valley history.

I aim for 1 post per week and around 4,000 words of news and commentary per month. Think of me as a degraded Wendell Berry, interpreting world events from my perch four blocks off Lexington’s Main Street.

And if you can spare it, please upgrade to a paid subscription. Your money pays for both the local NoC website and my shatty work appearing here. Subscriptions may get some special access things later, but nothing right now except a hearty thanks.

Grab the paddle. Take the trip.

Danny Mayer, founder of North of Center & ex-officio Mayor of Shatty Town.
