Star Blogger Search: Boston & DC Deadline is Today!

Today's the day and we want a couple of you out there to join us in the weeks ahead. Yes, we're looking again for new bloggers, this time in the Boston and the DC areas. To get all the info, check out these two posts:

• AT:Boston Wants You!
• AT:Washington, DC Wants You!

Please remember that we only hire readers and this first stage of the submission process is quick and dirty: send us a post you think your city should have.

Comments (18)

Why are you asking us where there are more readers? Couldn't a simple program like Site Meter give you a more accurate answer?

Although it is technically DC, is Baltimore included in the coverage?

I think the poll was more of a fun thing for us than a serious research tool for them...

I think the AT:DC should include Baltimore as well as the rest of the DC metropolitan area. DC itself is actually pretty small size and population-wise and way too interconnected with Maryland and Northern Virginia to NOT include those areas...

Well, I'd think that since AT:DC sounds so easy and simple to type, that it might end up being the "brand" of that area, kind of like AT:NY was for a while the brand of the whole blooming East Coast part of the site for a while, right? Meanwhile, until I started going to DC regularly, I had no idea how close it was to Baltimore.

I voted DC, but really it should be Baltimore as sort of the center of the mid-Atlantic (with DC just south and Philly just north). And Baltimore is the larger of the two cities.

I think AT:NY includes New York, New Jersey, Connecticutt, and also Philadelphia and Boston to some extent. AT:DC should include Baltimore, Maryland's DC Metro (Bethesda, Silver Spring), Arlington/No. Va (Alexandria, etc). And I cannot imagine Baltimore trumping DC in this case.

I know this is neither of the two options but I nominate Swannanoa, NC.
(SwannaNO-AH... not the oft used pejorative "Swannanowhere")
That said, us Swannanoans would most agreeably peruse blogs from either Boston or DC.

Definitely should be DC as the center of the Mid-Atlantic, not Baltimore. Though Baltimore probably has cooler residents.

I'm sure that Baltimore would be covered on the DC blog. Thier are a ton of shops in Fell's Point alone would be good to cover.
