You heard it here last

Clarksville (not really Columbia, but close enough) has been a hotbed of activity lately.  During the week a shooting was reported at a daycare facility in Clarksville (blogged by Columbia Talk).

Of course the local news stations headlined it by blowing it way out of proportion saying that shots were fired at a daycare facility in Clarksville, MD and then they promptly broke to commercial.  When they came back from commercial they reported the story and it obviously didn't sound as bad.  What I can't get over is why would anyone be hunting in Clarksville?  I figured this would take place only in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, or Western Maryland.  While it's true that Clarksville is not as densely populated as Columbia, I'm still surprised to find that people hunt out there.  I guess to each his own.

Hopefully Clarksville can calm down for a while and stay out of the news for longer than a week at a time.

The storyboard

Deciding on topics to blog about is certainly a difficult thing to undertake.  In order to contribute to a blog on a daily basis, some type of content is needed for posting.  With this in mind, I've developed a storyboard for daily posts to this blog.  My current ideas for this are:

• Lumburbia photo of the week (either my own or from others, by way of Flickr)
  
• Suburban musings
• Breaking news
• Where is that in Columbia
• The great unknown, life outside of the burbs

These are my initial ideas and I'm sure I will have others as this blog evolves.  I would also like to delve into topics that everyone in the burbs must overcome, like the neighbors, parking situations, the slow death of the suburbs, and commuting.

Hopefully, I can get a better handle on categorizing and developing these other topics.
