Randall Emert (aka the Peoria Anti-Pundit, aka Emtronics) is going to give up blogging (again). He’s stopped blogging a couple times before, only to start again, but this time he says he’s really stopping for good. He’ll be deleting his blog “very soon,” so visit it while you can.
I know how he feels. Blogging is addictive (seriously!), and I admire Randy for being able to stop. He’s been very critical of me on his blog over the years, but I don’t hold it against him. I wish him all the best.
This year’s State of the City address will be at the Holiday Inn City Centre, 11:45 a.m., January 26. The Peoria Area Chamber of Commerce has published a video preview of the event:
Notable this year: It won’t only be the state of the city, but also the state of District 150. Interim superintendent Norm Durflinger will be presenting along with Mayor Ardis. If you want to attend, you can register here. Cost: $50 for non-members of the Chamber, $35 for members. For those of you who don’t want to spend the cash (like me), the city usually posts a copy of the speech to the city’s website immediately following the event. It’s free.
