The Story Behind It

Built for locals, by a local.

Back in 2023, I created this newsletter with one goal: make it easier for people to discover what's happening around Maryland and DC. What started as sharing local finds online has grown into a community of 300,000+ followers and 11,000+ weekly subscribers.

Social media is great for sharing where you've already been. But people needed a better way to discover what's coming up next. That's why I created It's Somewhere Local.

My mission: help locals spend less time searching and more time enjoying everything our area has to offer. For businesses, my goal is just as simple: connect you with the people already looking for what you provide.
