Style Weekly reports on my Hyperlocal news projects: 10SBoulevard.com and Boulevardizen.com

Peter Feddo’s first-floor apartment on the Boulevard doesn’t look like the future of news. But the modest two-bedroom place just might be.

You might not recognize Feddo’s name. But if you follow local news and politics you might recall the building’s street address — 10 S. Boulevard — as the inspiration for Richmond’s only “super-hyper-local” Web site, 10sboulevard.com.

There, Feddo and the site’s co-founder, Joe Schilling, have reported on the news and events of the blocks around the building for the past two years: fires, car crashes, rabid raccoons, bad drivers, assaults, murder.

Armed with a Dell laptop, a smart phone and a Nikon D60 digital camera he bought for the site, Feddo prides himself on covering his neighborhood.

“If there’s crimes and fires or whatnot we race the local news affiliates out there,” Feddo says. “If there’s a fire, I’d IM [instant message] Joe and say, ‘Hey, you want to go?’” Usually he’s the first to the scene (“We know the alleyways,” he explains) — so often that he got a first-aid kit in case he arrives at a car crash before the rescue squad.
