The View from Here: Melissa D. Matthews
Read more: The View from Here: Melissa D. MatthewsI came to Bloomsburg over 25 years ago. Our first home in Bloomsburg was right next door to Ash and Naunas on East Street and we became lifelong friends with Bob and Jeanne Naunas. They sold the house and business a couple of years later to Al Lenzini, another great man. A little over a year later we looked for a home of our own.

Focusing on Community Features
Read more: Focusing on Community FeaturesWhen The Bloomsburg Daily launched, we knew we wanted to focus on the needs of the community. Our first inclination was to provide a new voice that would address the news of our town in a positive manner. What we discovered was that we could not only provide good stories on a regular basis, but also solutions to common problems in town. Most larger communities have a Craig’s List site that provides residents with an easy and free way to buy, sell, and barter items. After contacting craigslist.com we found that it takes nearly twice as many people locally to…
