Introduction of Author/Collaborator

Allow me to introduce myself.

I am someone who has walked the streets of Bloomingdale for the past 4 years with angst. You never really know what to expect around here. Every day is a new trial and test of courage.

I don't always feel safe around here but I live here and take it all in, the good and the bad.

I hope to get people talking about Bloomingdale.

I'll be talking about everything around here...the people, the businesses, the swamplike creatures that surface nocturnally in my alley, the flowers that bloom and die within a week...


...the park, the yoga, the liquor stores, the pool, the postal service ...

I'm not always right so please call me out on anything you might find to be inaccurate. I appreciate comments and interaction.

Web Design and layout by my sister, Aimee Elmer. She lives in Reston, but has been frequenting Bloomingdale for the past 3 1/2 years.

She also designs jewelry and will be showcasing her work at times too.

We like taking stylized photos around Bloomingdale and the surrounding areas.


I like to think of this neighborhood as a little bit of light and a little bit of dark.

A little riddle I try fruitlessly to figure out every day.

So check us out! Read the blog! Comment! Email me if you are interested in collaborating or posting events/ photos/ neighborhood information.

And thus we give you...Good Morning Bloomingdale
