After much stressful deliberation the ATLA team have finally made a decision about our newest editor...or rather, make that two new ATLA blogging editors! Please welcome Laure Joliet (one of our Smallest Coolest Apartment contest finalists) and Grace Hsiu, both who will be joining our regular schedule starting next week.

Our team is growing and so will the scope of our coverage now that we've got two additional creative minds and set of discerning eyes looking for new solutions, local resources and personal experience to bring to the ATLA round table. So please give them a warm welcome and keep an eye out for their fresh perspectives on the site in the coming days. Congratulations and welcome, Laure and Grace!

We'd also like to especially thank our third finalist, Abby Stone, who made it a most difficult decision with her wonderful posts and her gracious attitude. We have more than a sneaking suspicion we won't need to look very hard nor far next time we're looking to add someone to the team roster...
