Shatty Town! passes the word from Lexington Fayette Urban County, Kentucky (LFUCK).
I am a twenty-five year LFUCK resident who has spent the previous 15 years as publisher of North of Center, a small-time news and commentary site that since 2009 has covered Bluegrass Region politics, culture, geography, and history. Shatty Town! is the more nationally oriented, pre-print SubStack version of North of Center.
Shatty Town! coverage areas include biking, hiking, paddling, urban development, cronyism, parks, higher education, city gardening and gleaning, Ohio Valley history, and national retail politics. Some poetry, too.
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 offs Shatty’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.
