It’s Time To Say Goodbye…For The Summer

We have some kinda big news, Astoria: for the first time ever, WHA is taking a summer hiatus. I know. I know. I’ll let that sink in for a minute.

As many of you know, I’m expecting my first child any day now. While it’s super exciting to be welcoming a new Astoria super fan (also Star Wars fan if I have my way: see above,) it also means taking some time off to be with baby. And on top of baby, the real backbone of WHA, my beyond-amazing partner in crime, Emily, is moving to Portland*. While we all wish Em and her husband well, she will be missed in ways a blog post just can’t capture. In addition, Lindsay is getting married (congrats!) and Meg is taking some time for herself this summer.

(*Yes, for those keeping score at home, that is now 3/4 of then original WHA management team that’s moved to Portland. ;)

Our love for The Bonnie and each other runs deep!

So what does this all mean?! For now, you won’t be seeing any new content here on We Heart Astoria, but we’re leaving the homepage filled with posts you don’t want to miss: Outdoor Movies, Outdoor Dining, and of course our biggest post of the year, 50 Things To Do This Summer. What you will see when I come out of the baby haze is some light posting on social media- so let’s stay in touch on Facebook and Instagram. And while we won’t be taking email submissions, event listings, or post ideas for now, keep an eye on this space later this summer as we come up for air.

And so, it’s just ciao for now Astoria. Have a BUNCH of boozy brunches and beach days for me. God knows I’m gonna miss that part of summer.

Xoxo,

Mackenzi
