Editor's Note - April 2025

 

“Stop texting me! I’m turning my phone off!” I received this frustrated text from Michael during a recent photo shoot. I’m often asked: “How do you work with your husband?” It works because we have defined roles; Michael handles the business side of The Buzz and I handle editorial. There’s one exception: photo shoots. Michael has an eye for details and works closely with our photographers. But I work with our writers and know the story-behind-the-story. So when Michael is at a photo shoot, I inevitably bombard him with opinions. We might (lovingly) drive each other crazy, but we both want the best result. Our goal is to shine a light on fascinating residents and their stories. This month, meet indie band The Backroom Rumors; learn about the Bellaire Cookbook and History of Our Community; and get inspiration for spring cleaning from a later-in-life engaged couple who are merging homes. Most crucially: Read about Holocaust survivor Ruth Steinfeld, on a mission to share her story. As we look ahead to our summer issues, Michael: Keep your phone on.  [email protected]
