Victory & Reseda is Randy Stern’s literary contribution to the automotive industry. This site features reviews of the latest automobiles, industry analysis, views on variations of the automobile lifestyle, a look back at the history of the automobile, related topics on sustainable transportation – including public transport issues. Almost all of the photography featured on this website is of his own as well – except noted.
The name Victory & Reseda is derived from the major intersection near where Randy grew up in Reseda, California. It is from that intersection where Randy was inspired by all of the topics on this site. The corner of Victory and Reseda Boulevards is where his love for all things transportation was born. Today, it serves as a virtual intersection of the automobile, its culture, the past, present and future of personal transportation.
Randy’s automotive work also appears on Lavender magazine, the LGBT publication for the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. Before that, his work appeared on other LGBT community-based online publications. Until October of 2011, Randy also wrote a blog about the game of baseball, called The Heirloom. As part of the MLBlogs network (by MLB Advanced Media), The Heirloom was one of the Top 100 Fan Blogs of 2008 and 2010. Randy had two chapbooks of poetry published by a local micro press – Autumnbridge Media.
In addition, Randy is very active in social media, using Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and Flickr to support V&R as well as expressing his own views when appropriate. His social media experience began through developing a marketing campaign with a local Twin Cities choral ensemble, One Voice Mixed Chorus. The campaign included not only Facebook, Twitter and Flickr, but producing and editing viral videos with the chorus.
On top of presenting this automotive website, Randy provides writing, editing and photographic content for your business, organization or publication by individual project, free lance or contract basis. This includes web content writing and editing, social media marketing and strategies, photography for your web page, along with press services. For more information, Contact Randy Stern.
