why i love bellingham



bellingham is one of many, many cities applying to get google to test their ultra-high speed broadband network here.  the community is overwhelmingly in support of this effort; check out this blog to see some of the creative attempts folks have come up with in the effort to woo google.
my very favorite is the above video.  the little girl is the daughter of a local musician, and they live in our neighborhood.  it’s neat because i recognize almost all the landscapes in the video, and i actually really believe the cheesy message is true.  i love this town!
(while i’m sure having google’s super fast service would be useful to many of bellingham’s industries, my experience of this video and the whole campaign is more basic.  it’s just really cool to see everyone come together to tell the world why we all love this town!)
also, for those of you who really are interested in a little video peek into some of the places we visit regularly, check out this episode of inside bellingham to see our new and improved franklin park and our new whatcom museum!
