This is it, friends, my last WBUR byline. I know it’s a surprise. I have some exciting new opportunities ahead, opportunities I can’t talk about just yet. You know how it is.

I moved across the country for this job two-and-a-half years ago. I knew no one here and nothing about Boston. WBUR gave me a lot of room to play. The bosses put me in charge of a new blog about Boston, and I had to learn a lot about Boston. I have come to really love this city.

I have also come to love you, the readers and listeners and Twitterers I have gotten to know here as the resident social media guy. Thanks for making this so much fun.

Surely you’ve noticed the inconsistency on this blog for the last few weeks; I have been busy with the transition. Don’t worry, Hubbub is here to stay. In fact, we’re about to redesign and relaunch the blog to include more voices, more news. I think you’ll love it.

Be well, and please be in touch. You can still talk to me on Twitter @andrewphelps or follow my personal website, andrewphelps.com. Cheers!
