There’s quite a bit of consternation about the prospect of someone like Dave Ransburg buying the paper. The fear, presumably, is that news stories that don’t fit the buyers’ agenda for Peoria will be suppressed. There’s fear that the new owner might not be “responsible,” thus compromising the paper’s integrity. I share those fears, [...] The Peoria Pundit is reporting that Newspaper Guild employees at the Journal Star are going to start an aggressive campaign “to ensure the paper is sold to a responsible buyer.” The campaign is set to kick off on January 1, 2007, with a full-page ad and website. According to their website, the mission statement [...] Clare Jellick (who has a good blog of her own) reports in today’s Journal Star that plans to expand Glen Oak Zoo will be unhindered by the request to designate Glen Oak Park an historic site. Section 16-86(d) of Peoria’s municipal code states (emphasis mine): (d) Regulation during consideration period. From the date of [...] Jonathan Ahl had WMBD-AM’s Dave Dahl and the Journal Star’s Jennifer Davis on WCBU’s “Outside the Horseshoe” program (listen to an .mp3 of the show) this past Tuesday to review 2006.

When asked if there was “a nugget of truth in all the speculation,” Ransburg replied, “I have no idea,” which means “yes, [...] The Chronicle is back. I’ve been looking for a new WordPress theme to change things up a little for the new year. I kinda like this one, called “WuCoco.” It’s based on “Wuhan,” which is the theme I was using before; it’s very similar, actually. I found the featured picture of Peoria online; it’s [...] A Visit from St. Nicholas by Clement Clarke Moore ‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there; The children were nestled all snug [...] |
