Splitting the Mast (and 15/5000)


On April 28th, 2007 the Outskirts of Suburbia was created.
That was 15 years ago. And this is post number 5000.
Facebook has advised me that my facebook page will be shut down May 1st.
They can have it. With 151 followers I am getting, on average, 7-15 views per day.
www.outskirtsofsuburbia.blogspot.com will live on.
Maybe I'll move over to Instagram as outskirts_of_suburbia_blog
I'm already there as outskirts_of_suburbia (a more 'live' format, not the blog)
and outskirts_on_fire (all firehouses and fire trucks, you were warned)
Thank you to each and every one of you who have stopped by.
I hope you continue to follow along with me.
