Testimonials, the Newburyport Blog
“One reason to love Mary Baker (former Mary Eaton) is because she was one of the folks who led the fight to keep High Street from becoming a highway. Ms. Baker, a local artist, has never been one to hold her tongue. She has long been a community activist and because of this Newburyport is quite lucky. Well, there is now one more reason to love her community spirit. Mary has opened up a political blog (marybakerart.com/newburyport) on her existing website.
It is well done and a much better editorial read than one will find in the local paper of record…
In only two months it has become a must read in town…Part of the reason it is going so well is that Mary’s love of the community comes clearly through and she is smart enough to write about what she understands and makes an effort to research what she doesn’t.
Take our advice, skip the daily editorial in the paper of record and read Mary’s instead. From what we’ve seen, it makes a lot more sense.”

“It took a computer and Mary Baker Eaton to get it started. The buzz has built on its own.
In two months, the Newburyport Political Blog has not only gained a steady following, it has also been picked up by the national Planning and Development Network, Planetizen.com.
This week, a post from the Newburyport blog was at the top of Planetizen’s list of must reads, alongside articles on California’s levees in the Los Angeles Times and the rise of India in Newsweek.”
