119 - 2021 Resolutions ☝️
With a fresh year in front of us, now’s a great time to share our resolutions with you! We’ve got some small tweaks to make alongside some bigger moves, and we’re looking forward to it all. Here’s what you can expect as the 2021 rolls along...
1. We’ll keep interviewing 👋
Adding interviews to the regular rotation has offered a broader perspective on this city to our readers, and we’re excited to see that continue this year. We’ll also be adding some of our Patrons to the interview queue over 2021 and we can’t wait to share their take on London with you.
2. We’ll write some new lists 📋
Part of what’s kept The Localist going strong for three years is how much we enjoy bringing you lists you won’t find anywhere else. To that end, we’re currently working on some new lists covering topics as diverse as squirrels, laundromats and some of the city’s best murals.
3. We’ll get that website launched 🚀
This weekly newsletter remains our focus for 2021, but it’s high time we get something better than our current website up and running. Right now, the plan is for the site to house our newsletter archives plus select lists we’ll work to keep up-to-date.
4. We’ll keep thanking our Patrons 🙏
From time-to-time we find businesses to sponsor a list or two, but the bulk of our support comes from readers like you (see this email’s footer) making small monthly donations. This year, we’re looking to add some new perks to the program to better express our appreciation!
5. We’ll keep celebrating what makes London home 👏
We’re 119 lists in and just scratching the surface of all there is to celebrate about this city. Whether you’ve called it home for a short-time or a lifetime, there’s a lot of London yet to discover and we’ll be here to help you celebrate the best of it!
