I created my sister site Blog Peoria
to get other Peorians into
blogging.
One of the success stories has been Bill Knight
, a former reporter and
editor at the Journal Star who now teaches at Western Illinois, and also
does a ton of freelance work and commentary for Illinois Public Radio.
He posts versions of his work at Blog Peoria, […]
Not that long ago, I was posting about the situation at District 150. The board was in the process of ridding itself of its superintendent, who happens to be black.
There were those in the community, the media and on the board who opposed this decision and they believe that race played a part in […]
I think not.
Because the Super Friends were cool, not like these wannabes. At least they were, until they got all politically correct with “Black Vulcan” and “Apache Chief.”

Maybe the “Stray Cats” will get back together and he’ll get back in
shape for the tour.
… so I’ll be posting later today.
Enjoy the eye candy.

I have no complaints with WEEK’s report on blogging, available here.
Hey, nice work getting the link up so soon, but would it have killed you guys to hyperlink back to me?
I was kinda under the impression they were going to talk to other people, but I was the only guy they talked to. No problems. […]
Operating on the assumption that tonight’s WEEK segment on blogging (reaction to which will follow) might bring in a few new visitors, I think it might be appropriate to provide some sort of official welcome, as well as an explanation about what this site is all about.
*Backstory*
I’m a native Peorian. I attended Kingman School, then […]
… being called “Peoria’s best-known blogger” is sort of like being
called the “best French chef in Creve Coeur.”
I just saw a spot promoting tonight’s WEEK segment on blogging. Geeze. I

… be on the lookout for a dozen glazed and a dozen chocolate-covered
eclairs with those sprinkly things. Oh, and a cup of coffee, too.
Not that we would ever see so many Peoria cops at one location. Unless
they were picking up some extra cash working as security guards.
? WEEK: Ryan Officially Withdraws

I got the day wrong.
I won’t have to tape it, cause I’ll be able to watch it live.
Thanks to Tom McIntyre for the tip.
? Journal Star: District 150 picks co-chiefs
“Co-_chiefs_”?
Now that’s just what District 150 needs now, to get the Indian rights
groups after them.
Sorry for the poor quality of this photo. I saw this bumper sticker on the back of a parked pick-up truck and I couldn’t resist snapping a pic with my cell phone.
Natives have been calling the Journal Star the “Urinal Jar” for years, although this is the first time I’ve seen anyone go to the […]
