I read Billy’s recent “free” post about how he was denied access to police reports. His post calls into question the police department’s restriction of this information to only those with press credentials. I wanted to find out what the police department’s policy actually was, so I e-mailed Chief Settingsgaard. It turns out that, [...] Billy Dennis is trying something new in the Peoria blogosphere: You won’t be able to read his original content on the BlogPeoria Project (www.blogpeoria.com) unless you subscribe. Subscriptions are relatively cheap at $3 per month. His post explaining the new system is here. In a nutshell, blogging is one of those things that most [...] Every fifth Tuesday of the month, there’s a Blogger Bash, and this month was no exception. Everyone met at Kelleher’s Irish Pub on Water Street to eat, drink, and mingle. Attending were Chef Kevin (Chef Kevin’s Culinary Rants and Raves), friend-of-blog and frequent commenter Scott Hay, Willa Lucas (Ramble On), David P. Jordan (Peoria [...] I can find no verification of this rumor that was recently brought to my attention: Just talked to a relative that is on a local developement [sic] company that helped push for the museum.

This month, it will be at Kelleher’s Irish Pub down on Water Street at 6 p.m. Come on down and hang out with us tonight.

Because the past three times have worked so well, we’ll be meeting at 6 p.m. at the Fieldhouse in the Campustown [...] What could be more fun than hanging out with a bunch of bloggers, commenters, and lurkers on Tuesday night at the Fieldhouse in Campustown? Don’t answer that. Just come out to Blogger Bash anyway. It’s tonight at 6 p.m. Local blogger PeoriaIllinoisan has started a new series of posts he’s calling “Peoria Then & Now.” Using old photographs and postcards, I will attempt to recreate the shot using as close to the same angle as possible to show how much things have change, and sometimes maybe even stayed the same. It’s both [...] I don’t often think about the medium of blogging; I’m usually focused on the message. But tonight, I’ve been thinking about blogging itself, and thinking seriously about a question that many people have asked, dismissively for the most part: What good is blogging? Isn’t it a waste of time? If you were to ask [...] From the Peoria Pundit: Blogger Bash [is] set for 6-10 p.m. Tuesday, June 29, at The Fieldhouse in Campustown, 1200 West Main St. Come as you are. You don’t have to be a blogger to attend. If you read the blogs, whether you comment or not, you’re invited. Come hang out and get to [...] |
