Thank you for visiting The E’ville Eye Community News. We set out over two years ago with the goal of being a community resource for Emeryville and the adjacent communities by spotlighting happenings & initiating important conversations. Our humble beginnings as a personal blog have evolved into a full-featured news site through dedication, contributions and a lot of time & hard work. In this time, we’ve seen our pageviews more than double with every progressive year. The trajectory of The E’ville Eye is clearly pointing up! Our audience and traffic continue to grow with every post and the interest of the community have helped make The E’ville Eye not only the top Google-ranked Emeryville blog, but also the top-ranked Google Search news site for Emeryville:
While revenue has never been the primary goal of the site, the reality is that there are costs involved including hosting, advertising and (hopefully soon) paying contributors. Would you like to support citizen-journalism, align with residents and help perpetuate this sites evolution into the objective community resource that we’re striving to be? Now you can!

We’re currently scouting for voices to represent other segments of our city that need exposure including Seniors, Parents, Fiscal Oversight, History, Crime, etc. If you have a knack for writing and are passionate about any aspects of our city, please inquire.

Our Goal: Advocate, Inform & Entertain
Our mission is simple: To create dialogue and discourse outside of the council chambers. Through this collective voice, we will advocate for residents and demand the attention of the political & business leaders of our city. We want to provide a resource for our community to share, interact & connect with each other. Something our little city of 1.2 square miles and 10,000 residents can rally around. Something that will get more residents involved and get more people to act in our best interests. Something that will bring pride to being … an “E’villain”!
