It didn't occur to me to check until a few minutes after I posted yesterday, but Tuesday ended up being something of a special day. It marked the tenth anniversary of my first ever post on The Zoo Reviewer! (The blog was originally going to be "The Zoo Review," but that was taken). Since May 2, 2013, we've shared over 2,200 posts, including reviews of over 100 zoos and aquariums! (And we have several more reviews waiting in the wings).
May 7 will mark the tenth anniversary of my first real post, "Why I Became a Zookeeper" (I was so overdramatic and florid in my writing back in those younger days...). The most popular post remains "The Ten Things I Never Want To Hear From Zoo Visitors Again..."
If there's one area in which the blog has let me down somewhat, it's that I'd hoped for more engagement - people writing in with questions, or sharing their stories as guest editorials (though I do very much appreciate the ones that have been submitted). If you have material you'd like to share, feel free to drop a comment, or send an email at zooreviewer@gmail.com
It's still hard to believe that it's been ten years. Thanks to all the readers!
Congratulations on ten years! Although I don't always comment on here, as a zoo enthusiast I read almost every post and find them very interesting and insightful.
