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.

After months of work, the momentous day for Peter Feddo and his colleagues at the "draft Hillary" movement had finally arrived: Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's formation of an exploratory committee meant a presidential run was imminent.

So what now?

Draft committees are a peculiar political animal; they exist to start building excitement for a presidential candidate who hasn't even decided to run. They launch Web sites, collect names of potential supporters and raise money in anticipation of a presidential bid.

Even at the Jefferson-Jackson Day dinner, where former President Bill Clinton made what was widely viewed as a proxy appearance for his wife, the most visible show of support for Mrs. Clinton came from Peter Feddo , a 23-year-old who runs a Hillary Rodham Clinton for President Committee from Richmond, Va. Mr. Feddo had flown into Des Moines with thousands of “Hillary for President” stickers and signs that he passed out at the door; the best news, he said, was that some guests asked for two. “So that’s a sign of momentum for Hillary,” he said. “People not only want to support her, they want to tell their friends.”
