I am very pleased to see this. I had hoped there were still some in the East Bluff who wanted to fight back against crime.

A well informed and diligent "Citizen Journalist" wouldn't have missed it, and probably would have actually cared.

I don't live in Peoria..If I did I would have been there.

Getting Police Reports is a quick and easy process, not to mention the fact that the records are easier to get during "business" hours which aren't from 6-730 pm.

In addition I don't claim to be a "citizen journalist" but if I attempted it, I could safely say I would probably be more respected then you are.

Well, one thing about being a "citizen journalist" is that you do what you can, when you can. I made two trips to PPD yesterday. One to get the daily reports. Because Thursday's weren't done, I want back in the afternoon.

That's roughly three hours getting the reports, then another half hour of so making sure there are written up well. Or, well enough for my site.

Then another hour or so gathering reports from bloggers and linking to them on Peoria24seven.com.

Again, not a full eight hour day. But a day.

And I simply forgot about the east bluff thing. Sorry, but it happens.

Again, I ask you, do you do ANY kind of citizen journalism? Or do you sit nothing back and make jokes at those who do? It's not quite as easy as you think.

I concur with Billy, and I applaud him for taking the initiative to do what the Journal Star doesn't. It's easy to take pot shots from the sidelines. Even my lowly Name This Peoria Landmark takes several hours of my time on the weekend to research and update and that doesn't include the actual photo taking.

And thank you PI.

Speaking of picture taking, I thing i spend two hours taking pictures at the Santa Claus parade, and other four hours getting them all up on the site.

Speaking of that, compiling them into a short video would have been more interesting, as I did a few years ago (admittedly, not my best work) - of course, that's another few hours of your life that you'll never get back.
