The E’ville Eye
VerifiedOnline/Digital
Welcome to The E’ville Eye Community News, a citizen-journalist powered news platform covering Emeryville and its surrounding neighborhoods. The idea for the E’ville Eye arrived in 2010 when Editor Rob Arias was robbed at gunpoint in the Park Avenue district neighborhood and was frustrated by his inability to alert neighbors to be more vigilant. There simply was no vehicle to communicate with our entire city. Technology caught up with our vision through the WordPress platform.
Emeryville is such a small community that we really feel an opportunity exists for individuals to make a difference. We’re hoping more of you are out there that have an interest in what’s happening in our city and want to be informed. Ultimately it will be up to us, the community, to drive the conversation and together we can get those in charge to listen to our collective voice.
We’re hoping to recruit contributors from all around Emeryville to represent and speak for our entire city. We will post relevant information about our neighborhood, spotlight new places and list upcoming events. If you have any suggestions or would like to contribute content to this site, email us at rob@evilleeye.com. We strive to report facts and be as objective as possible but feel free to contact us if we’ve missed anything or you object to any of the content posted and we’ll do our best to set the record straight.
