Truly local community news sites are special things. Started by a mix of content entrepreneurs, hobbyists and community organizers, they are fragile. We're always sad when one of our Neighborlogs sites goes quiet -- alas, Ravenna Nation -- but we're equally happy when a new site joins the flock.

Please welcome one of the newest Neighborlogs sites -- the Beverly Hills Independent.

Some community news sites are dedicated to helping to define under-defined, underrepresented areas. Beverly Hills wouldn't be one of those. But like one of our leading Neighborlogs sites, CapitolHillSeattle.com, there is still a story to tell about the daily lives of the people who live in these well-known places. In the process, these high profile locations can be redefined from a community perspective.

But we're getting ahead of ourselves. BHI is just getting started. Wish them luck and welcome them to the Neighborlogs family of community news sites. You can also follow their progress on Twitter @bhindependent.
