The future of LV Scene…
The passing of St. Patrick’s Day marks the one year anniversary of LV Scene. It started small; a simple blog offering ideas to people bored in the Lehigh Valley. As the blog grew in popularity, so has our content. We branched away from simple event promotion to include restaurant reviews, a directory of local establishments, and a guide for weekly events here in the Lehigh Valley. I’d be remiss if I didn’t thank a good friend of mine, Fernando Desouza, for helping me with site development. If you’re looking for an expert in online marketing or website development, look no further than Fernando’s company Kreate Market.
The Lehigh Valley’s nightlife and dining scene has seen a lot of growth throughout the past year. Several new bars and restaurants have made a big impact here in the Valley and it’s been fun to track the new growth that’s come to our area. Roosevelt’s 21st, The Firehouse, The PigPen, and The Bookstore are just some of the new additions we’ve seen this past year. The past year has also brought a world class casino to our neck of the woods. Despite it’s formidable size, the Sand Casino Resort Bethlehem hasn’t had quite the impact on the Lehigh Valley’s entertainment many of us thought it would.
You may have noticed that the over the past several weeks, the amount of new posts has dwindled down to one or two a week. I wish I could say that that is likely to change for the better, but, unfortunately, it’s not. About two weeks ago I was offered and accepted a job in Atlanta. This week will be my last in the Lehigh Valley for the foreseeable future. At this point in time I have not been able to find anyone interested in taking over the website. Right now my plans are to leave the website up and running, there’s still a lot of usable content here on the site. Our restaurant reviews, list of weekly events and the “Find it here” bar listings will still be helpful for anyone looking for information about entertainment here in the Valley. But at this point no more new content will be posted to the site. I have ownership of the domain name thelvscene.com for at least the next 12 months and will leave the site up until then. If you are interested in taking over the management of this website, let me know. Shoot me an email at lvscene(at)gmail.com and we’ll figure something out.
The past year has been fun, I’ve made a lot of new friends through the site and have had a lot of good times at some of the events you’ve read about here on LV Scene. Thanks for making LV Scene your go to source for news and information about the Lehigh Valley’s nightlife, dining, and entertainment scene. And who knows, maybe things won’t work out in Atlanta. Maybe I’ll be back to start LV Scene 2.0. Stay classy, Lehigh Valley!
