Four years ago ARLnow.com got its humble start by launching a simple, homemade WordPress site and then getting out there and reporting on local happenings.

(At the time, the biggest local happening was a snowstorm that tied up traffic around the area.)

When we started our original coverage on Jan. 30, 2010, literally no one knew about the site other than family and friends. Today we’re glad to count all 200,000 of you among our friends.

Here’s looking forward to another four years of growing and serving the community.
