After the confetti has settled and the best wishes from all over the world for the new year have reached all corners of the planet, in Rumbo, we have started, well, not a new life, but a new way of life, style of work, that’s what it is.
After producing Rumbo for more than 15 years, from a room in our house converted into an office, we considered it was time to grow, so in 2011 we moved to a bigger, more comfortable office, located at 60 Island St., with plenty of room for expansion.
Although we enjoyed the comfort of space and the company of excellent neighbors, we soon realized that we missed the comfort we had left behind. At lunchtime, we had to bring it from the outside and most of the time, even dinner. We missed the convenience of making these preparations at home, while continuing to work, just to mention one of the advantages.
Towards the end of 2015, we started toying the idea of converting the garage of the house, which was full of things mostly useless, into an office. That was the best idea we could ever conceive and in early 2016 we began to produce Rumbo from the house, well, from the garage turned into office, that only a door separates us from the comfort of the house.
One thing that will not change is our approach. Rumbo is known for covering only local stories, highlighting the successes and / or failures in our city, some of them probably not covered by any other publication, giving our community a different perspective of the themes and subjects.
Rumbo will remain a free publication and our website will remain a faithful copy of our newspaper where you can find the past sixteen years of news. Our advertisers, above all, enjoy seeing their ads over the years on those pages.
Now that 2016 is over and 2017 begins, we want to thank our loyal advertisers and readers for their continued support so, continue to browse through our pages and send us your letters, opinions and information.
Happy 2017!
