Everyone else at Townhall is getting on board with blogging, so I thought I would give it a try. Now that school is winding down, I'll have a lot of time on my hands and really, who doesn't want somewhere to voice their opinions? Thank God for Townhall :)
To begin, let me explain the name of this blog. A coal cracker is someone from the anthracite coal region of Pennsylvania (aka the true coal region, for all of my Western PA friends) extending from Lackawanna County, through Luzerne County and Carbon County, to Schuylkill County in the best corner of PA, the Northeast. Now that I live in Washington, DC, I thought it was fitting to combine the two.
Side-note: The URL, "diamonddistrict," is a play-off of the coal region and DC combo as well. Black diamonds are pieces of coal.
Now that I've bored the entire TH community with way to much talk about fossil fuels, I'll give a brief run-down on this blog... this is pretty much going to serve as my personal venue to discuss what matters to me - from politics to class to the annoying people who ride the DC Metro.
