And we’re also grateful to everyone who has lent their talents to The Local over these two and a half years. We’re grateful that our subjects allowed us into their lives, to varying degrees. Hover above the thumbnails to see each person’s name, and click through to read or watch our past stories about them. Now that the site is coming to a close, we thought we’d return the honor by featuring the Mosaic Man in some tile work of our own: a collage of just some of the people who make the East Village what it is, for better or worse (mostly for better, we’re happy to say). Thanks so much for reading!Ī while back, The Local was featured on one of Jim Power’s iconic lampposts. The Local’s robust archives will remain right here at – because we know how important preservation is to East Villagers. We hope you’ve enjoyed this collaborative experiment in community journalism as much as we have. You can also sign up for B + B’s newsletter to get top stories delivered to your inbox. As The Local publishes its final post today, please bookmark /bedfordandbowery and follow on Twitter. Bedford + Bowery will continue to cover breaking news, big issues, and cultural events in the East Village and Lower East Side while also exploring three kindred neighborhoods directly across the river: Williamsburg, Greenpoint, and Bushwick. Carter Journalism Institute will launch an exciting new site with New York magazine. Now it’s time for some change of our own. Over the course of two a half years, the word “change” has come up in many of The Local’s 4,200-plus posts about the East Village.
