51,317 uniques, thanks Adam.

Uniques 51,317 and page views 197,394
Great numbers yesterday thanks to Adam's story "She won't budge" about the 90-year-old woman standing in the way of development on the old Yoken's land.

First, Adam went, knocked on her door and got the story.

Then Don got a great photo with the woman's shotgun in the background.

Finally, Adam submitted the story to Fark whose readers had a thoughtful (and of course funny) debate about the story.

The result 32,137 uniques for that story alone. The photo zoom with the story brought in another 3,300.

It's these types of individual extra efforts that really make a difference.
