Your 2015 Guide to the Suburbs: It's our best advice, but share yours too

To our readers:

We're celebrating New Year's Day with something different this year - a special guide to living, working and playing in the suburbs.

We thought, what better way to start the year than with a planning tool to try to help you make the most of it?

On the next several pages, we're offering our best advice for navigating the suburbs, drawing on the centuries of combined experience our staff has covering the suburbs and living in them too.

Despite our expertise, we've probably overlooked something. You can help with that.

Email your tips if there's a topic we should have covered, or if you're reading and you think, "Why didn't they mention my favorite spot?"

Email your suggestions to guide@dailyherald.com. We'll put them together for a follow-up article. And we'll try to remember them if we create this guide again next year.

Yes, who knows? Maybe we'll try to make this a New Year's tradition every year.

Thanks for reading.
