Our Story
The origins of TheBurg go back to when Larry Binda and Pete Durantine were young reporters at a newspaper in Washington, D.C. Many years and life changes later, Larry, Pete and Angela Durantine began to seriously plan for a new type of community newspaper for Harrisburg, one that would represent fairly this unique, beautiful city on the Susquehanna River. Our first issue hit the streets on a very cold evening around New Year's Day 2009. We have published TheBurg every month since. We hope that we have begun to fulfill our mission to tell the stories of the people who live and work here, who strive each day to make the Harrisburg area a more prosperous, engaged and caring community.
