This site was started a year ago today. Back then, we hoped to engage Dearborn residents in a dialogue about the issues that really affect our town. From the provocative to the mundane, and everything in between. We'd like to think we've succeeded.2009 has certainly been an interesting year for all of us, and has provided no shortage of conversational fodder: chihuahuas, school funding, Rick Springfield, failing businesses, rising foreclosures, a major election and who can forget the drama of "Drivewaygate?"
When we began, we knew the most compelling thing about Dearborn News Online would be the readers and their comments. It holds true today. We've always considered the stories here to be the spark that ignites deeper conversations between neighbors, and those of you who've been kind enough to add your comments to the discourse here rarely disappoint. Our readers have proven to be a tough, incisive and knowledgeable bunch. At the end of the day, we're sure we've learned more from you than you've learned from us.
We're happy to be included among the many voices who report on the ups and downs of our town. We hope you keep reading. The next year is sure to be a doozy.
Thank you.

happy birthday DNO ;)
Where is the party at?
Congrats to you! It doesn't seem like I have been reading this for a year - time goes by fast.
Keep patting yourself on the back. As you can see from last night's vote, you've really made a big difference.
This message brought to you by the City of Dearborn who pays for and runs this blog for your enjoyment. Happy New Year!

LOL. What a bunch of tools. Really.
Good for DNO to publish those silly comments.
Im glad DNO is back to updating more stories, it was dry for a while. Happy Birthday and keeping up with a blog :)
Happy Birthday! Great blog, I check it often. I included it in the RSS News feed over on Network Dearborn.
"The next year is sure to be a doozy." Couldn't agree more!
Nice to see a couple of Guys who spend their time to operate this site for Free. I hope you continue to keep up the good work.
please. a year of running city press releases. hardly news. that is called a mouthpiece for the city of Dearborn. zero original content.
Happy Birthday!!! and many more years of success!! May you and all of your readers have a Blessed Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year. I'm sure we will be talking to each other in 2011.
I'm a regular and appreciate all you guys do. It's always interesting to hear what everybody's thinking out there. Merry Christmas to everyone and Happy New Year, too!
