Well Livermore, we did it! LivermoreVine.com's first full year is in the books – and what an eventful year it has been.
While this list highlights our top 22 stories of the year based on page views, we've had the privilege of covering a wide range of the city's most pressing issues, including the ongoing Eden Housing debate, the arrivals and departures of local officials, the philanthropic work of local nonprofits and humanitarians, new and outgoing businesses, the city's growing arts scene, festive community events and so much more.
We also covered a number of tragedies that no doubt sent waves of sadness and grief throughout the community but were important stories that brought awareness to residents and reminded us all to hold our loved ones a little closer.
Several articles published during the general election season made our list of most-read stories this year, confirming that our hyperlocal, in-depth elections coverage is some of the most important and valued work that we do in our organization.
Livermore is a bustling community with several projects and goals on the horizon heading into the new year, which are sure to keep our newsroom busy in 2023 and beyond. But before we close out chapter 2022, let's take a look back at the top 22 stories of the year.
