Two of my favorite writers are making major changes in their lives and they didn't get approval from me! Elizabeth Large, the Sun food critic (but also in the old days involved in fashion, style and many years of features) is retiring. So very sad...EL has been a Baltimore fixture of the writing and later blogging scene forever. She has written Nouveau up countless times over the years...always so kind, clever and a true friend. I hear she will write in occasionally...we love you EL..
Next is my favorite biz writer, Julekha Dash of the Baltimore Business Journal is leaving and going to Bmore Media. An online publication fairly new to Baltimore. I have enjoyed reading Julekha's columns in the BBJ for years. She mostly covered retail, always engaging and kind. Though I did get in trouble a couple of times for saying too much! lol I saw Julekha the other evening at a Bmore event and she seems like she wants to work less...I have always known she really lives in Lewes DE, close to where my family has a home, so the commute must get tiresome.
Both of these women are so incredibly talented...and with the print media shrinking so, it really is a loss to not be counting on their quarterbacking everyweek in the Sun and BBJ.
If I wore a hat...it would be tipped to both of you.
Steve and Lee...the Nouveau guys
Aw thanks Steve for the kind words.
ReplyDeleteI still live in Baltimore (just spend a little less time there) and still write for a Baltimore pub so you can still see my work in BmoreMedia.com.
