Plus the rest of our stories from the past week on AltDaily.

It’s been inspiring to see that little block of Botetourt (by the YMCA and the The Chrysler) blossom over this past year…

You will find a story in this post that you love. Click it. You will. Trust us. Go on.

We are shifting the direction of the editorial content of AltDaily.com in a way that will lead to fuller coverage, higher quality content, and a more sustainable business model and work load. We are looking for editor/writers.

Artists. Photo series. Op-eds. Fine arts. Music. Occupy Norfolk. Local History. Science, zombies, bikes, and food. It’s probably been our best month of content ever.

What I’m stoked on today. (Hint: There are three of them, they have beards, and their name rhymes with Shmavett.)

We decided that the Editorial Board will have four primary roles, plus the creation of wtf@altdaily.com. Read on for details.

We tried to select a mix of individuals with a professional journalism background and experience in the world of activism, along with long-time AltDaily contributors and plain old passionate AltDaily readers.

It is with real joy that we announce this Call for Submissions for our premiere issue of AltDaily’s new print edition, Cannonball City.

Ideally our editorial board will be composed of writers, journalists, artists, professors, community and business leaders, and other stakeholders in the Hampton Roads community who see the worth of AltDaily and believe that its potential is perpetually greater than its current form.

Our vision for AltDaily’s future.

All in ten easy steps. Plus an invitation to come to The Workshop, where we’ll talk our ideas through. And we’ve got TEDxNASA tix to give away.

Why a campaign targeting young professionals and creatives in and outside of Norfolk? In May, The Brookings Institution’s State of Metropolitan America report noted Hampton Roads’ slow-growing, aging population with less diversity than the national average. (…That’s bad.)
