Peoria Pundit is now operating at pundit.blogpeoria.com.
Please adjust your blogroll.

Sometime Tuesday, Site Meter recorded the 1,000,000th unique daily visitor to PeoriaPundit.com.
I have no idea who it what or what brought them here. Was it a regular visitor who wanted get his or her daily fix? Was it someone lured here by promises of pics of Paige Davis stripping?
And I have to concede that the [...]

There’s a good article in Sunday’s Journal Star about anonymous comments and their role in the public debate. The Henry Holling situation — and how anonymous commenters tried to spread lies about the man on this and other blogs — is mentioned.
Naturally, someone in the comments section attacks me for selling out, kissing ass [...]

It’s called “City without a Subway.” It’s an anonymous pundit-style blog, with several snarky posts already up.
And Peoria does too have a Subway, in fact more than one. They’ve got one inside Wal-Mart, one at Campustown, one at University and Glen and one waaaaaay out on North Knoxville.
UPDATE: Marathon Pundit links to this post, noting:
“Peoria [...]

The Washington Post, the most mainstream of all the Mainstream Media, is once again pondering the Blogosphere and the very concept of citizen journalism (NOTE: I henceforth refuse to put quotes around the phrase). The article is generally fair, and includes some quotes from a tired old blog basher:
“The term ‘citizen journalist’ has [...]

Rich Miller has some kind words to say about Peoria Pundit (and less kind words for the Journal Star) in his most recent syndicated newspaper column.
I liked this line:
Peoria probably has more political bloggers per capita than anywhere in the state.
Finally, there’s something about Peoria that isn’t lagging 10-20 years behind the rest of the [...]

The bash was a huge success and a fun time was had by all.
Rich Miller of Capitol Fax never showed (too busy rounding up news and gossip out of Springfield, no doubt). None of the students from Jonathan Ahl’s class showed up. There quite a few first-time bashers, from including the folks responsible for Tails [...]

.Elaine Hopkins of Peoria Story (who STILL doesn’t allow commenting on her site) noted my recent expression of frustration:
Duh — blogging can be work.
It’s journalism when done right. That means covering events, interviewing people, finding information. That can be fun, but it’s also work, and few people can afford to pursue full time work without [...]

I’m still thinking about my post about Scott Adams belief that it’s an economic fact that online will eventually replace print media. There have a been many predictions about the demise of the newspaper. Some of the dates in those predictions have come and passed. But ad sales DO continue to decline. Newspapers DO continue [...]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. He’s going to be too busy to blog for about a month.
Ha!
He won’t be able to resist. He’ll be posting less, I’m sure. But once you’ve been bitten by the blogging bug, there’s no cure.

Name This Peoria Landmark is back from hiatus. No word yet on whether or not my guess is correct.

Journal Star reporter Molly Parker is telling some great stories on her St. Jude Run blog. Lots of details — being a reporter helps — and lots of names and personal anecdotes, and there were almost two dozen comments last time I checked. I really hope that her bosses see this and realize the value [...]

C.J. Summers has a post that might be of interest to local bloggers, and the Peoria-area media:
This would probably never work, but I had this crazy idea. Imagine several local bloggers uniting to form a freelance journalistic cooperative. I know we all have links to each other now, but suppose we had a single site [...]
