Yay! A couple of weeks ago, Utrecht Stories was nominated as 'Utrecht Site of the Week' in the local newspaper Ons Utrecht (Our Utrecht). And we've won! 200 euro, worth 200 dollars. We're thinking about some promotional things to do with the money. Marrije and I are both very busy at the moment, but when we've got the time (at the end of the week, I presume), new stories will follow.

A new story, this time in Dutch, has been published at Nijmegen Stories last week. So, all you dutchies around the globe, all you who study Dutch, who read and speak Dutch: come, read & practice! ;-)

Last week, our birthday slipped by quietly. The City Stories Project is one year old! We grew to 23 sites in one year - that's a new site almost every two weeks. Congrats, everyone! To celebrate, take a trip through our ever-growing archives and enjoy a story or two.

...of Canada, that is. Ottawa Stories is thrilled to be the (second?) newest part of the City Stories network! The site currently features five stories and a bunch of photos for your reading and viewing pleasure. More stories added as I find ghostwriters to hire and money to pay them with. Check it out!

Newly accepted to the City Stories Project is Nijmegen Stories. Nijmegen, a small dutch town near the German border. Famous because of the Four Day Marches every year and for being the oldest Roman city in the Netherlands.

I hope you enjoy NIjmegen Stories and pay us a visit every now and then...

I was on my way home from a barbecue at a friend's house when I saw the bright flashes reflecting against the thick blanket of clouds covering the city. I had committed the gravest of sins: I had forgotten about the fireworks.

Stop by and read about Roman Candles and other things July 4th.

Leiden Stories has been very quiet for a while, but now there's a new story in the end. It's in dutch, and it tells about the Burcht.

Die nacht -we hadden een aardig bakkie op- lieten we onze verbeelding ook spreken. We zouden die Burcht weleens omverwerpen. Vol bravour namen we ons voor er 7 maal omheen te lopen met z'n vieren en dan zou 'ie wel ineenstorten.

We're back - and it's your turn to tell your Chicago Story!
