Jerry Green responds here to allegations in a Dan Damon blog post while pledging to be involved in moving forward. It appears that we’re in luck, Plainfield. Just as we got worried about losing Muhlenberg Hospital, Jerry Green tonight promised to put his full efforts and resources to our benefit. Right in time.

The videos that I posted yesterday morning are more than obsolete, as PCTV’s footage is now produced and on youtube. Not only will you see what all who attended saw, but there are interviews with councilors Williams, Rivers, and Taylor at the end. Hint: For fellow attendees who want to see key moments again, it gets…

You rarely find good live concert for $5, especially away from the city, and you almost never have the opportunity to see a hip hop show in Plainfield. This week, you’ll have both, and it’s for a good cause that benefits our young people. Plainfield hip hop and reggae duo Negros Americanos will headline their “For…

I’ll leave the play by play to other blogs tonight. Bernice and Old Doc have already done summaries. I did manage to take some videos that can supplement what you read elsewhere.

Residents are rightfully fuming over the loss of Muhlenberg Hospital, all the while finding themselves embroiled in a second fight to prevent…

It was a cold, rainy day around three weeks ago – March 29th to be exact. For reasons unknown, I decided to go to New York City as I often do on the weekend, despite the miserable weather and nearly record-breaking rain totals. I’m fond of notebooks, and have spent more hard earned money on…

Since August 2013, a month before Plainfield View began, I have not missed a single City Council regular meeting or agenda fixing session. However, I admit that over the past couple of months I have not covered them like I used to. I think you understand. As a full time worker, after sitting as long…

I first heard of lawyer Brian Lorio during the late December City Council special meeting where he vouched for Joy Spriggs, the city’s Public Defender that Mayor Mapp tried to remove from her position. Since then, I have learned through his blog, Brian C. Lorio Images, that Mr. Lorio is also quite a photographer. He works in…
