Weekly Blogosphere Round-Up

Two new entries this week:  Nazareth Daily News and World of Patrice.  If you know of a Nazareth area based blog, forward me the link (editor@newsovercoffee.com) and I’ll add it to the sidebar of NewsOverCoffee.com and include it in the round-up.  The round-up includes sites that made a post during the week so be sure to check the full list of sites on the home page, left sidebar.

Andy’s Fan Page has plenty of coverage of basketball and wrestling as both seasons are in the post-season and teams and individuals are trying to qualify for states.

Center for the Arts announces an open mic session on Wednesday and Magic Bean on Saturday (tickets $10 online or at the door).

Clonehenge continues its theme of movie and tv sightings and includes European Vacation’s Clark Griswald who topples Stonehenge when leaving.

House to Home aka The Yellow House explains an ingenious use for those who collect doorknobs and has an aside featuring penguin cupcakes.

Steaming Cup has a few posts related to baseball (it is about that time) and another on reason and public education, wherein he makes several points about the system that seem to frustrate taxpayers on an ongoing basis.

Lehigh Valley Ramblings features the best coverage anywhere on county level government and doesn’t disappoint this week.  In addition to standard coverage he also has a post on County web cast of Council meetings.  I’ve added a link to the NOC sidebar for people to be able to access these meetings.

Nazareth Daily News launched on February 21, 2010 and in its initial post described itself as follows: “This blog is dedicated to Nazareth, PA and it’s surrounding communities. Here you will find all the news that’s fit to print (or type) relating to our town. This will be your one stop to keep up with what’s going on whether it be local sports, meetings, politics, or even yes our American Idol candidate.”  I know, sounds a lot like NOC, but people like choices: The Express-Times and The Morning Call, The Us and The Key, and now NewsOverCoffee and Nazareth Daily News.

Weird Nazareth has the registration for the upcoming Soap Box Derby race on May 1.  This event shouldn’t be missed!  I understand there have been a huge number of entries including a group of people from Connecticut coming down to compete.

World of Patrice  another new edition to the blogosphere round-up, this blog features the photography and clothing designs of Nazareth-based, Patrice Mitchell.  Not sure how long the blog has been up, I connected with Patrice through FB and when I joined her fan page I found the blog, and am sharing it with everyone.  She has two contests going on right now so be sure to visit her blog!

Quite an active online community in Nazareth!  Have a great week everyone and best of luck to boys and girls basketball along with those wrestlers who are all competing in the PIAA State Championship Tournaments this week!
