""A lot of functional small cities and large towns are actually comic operas with real estate taxes . . . I''m interested in a different kind of growth. It''s sort of volunteer media in the way a volunteer fire department is . . . I have the same advice that The Ramones had: Don''t wait until you''re any good. Just dive in there, the water''s fine."
Lisa Williams, proprietor of H20Town, a news weblog for Watertown, Mass., during an interview on Open Source Radio, Aug. 8, 2005."

What''s it like to have small children, and take on the responsibility of writing a community-news weblog for an aging suburb of 35,000 people -- working alone, as a volunteer? Lisa Williams has been doing that for her hometown of Watertown, Mass., a close-in Boston suburb, for more than two years (as of November 2005), and she''s written about her blog, called H20Town.
