One Year Ago, Today -- BOOM!




Happy Birthday to us -- the PRU Crew!

We hope that, during the past year, everyone has found something of value in our blog. If not? Tough shit. We like it. As we said in our very first post --

"Leave your prissy tasseled loafers at the door - we'll loan you a pair of Doc Martens.

We are, as our header says, irreverent and unrepentant in our opinions.

If hard driving sentiment with a dash of twisted humor is not your cup of venti caffé mocha then don't let the cyber-door hit you in the ass as you exit.

And don't forget to take your prissy tasseled loafers with you!"


In a year's time, we've covered some pretty good ground; 250 posts with almost 200 tags.

We did have a good laugh when we realized the first subject we posted about was of Aldermen Allspaghetti's and Bachtard's opposition to full enforcement of the Zero Tolerance law by police in Park Ridge, and now that subject is being discussed again a year later in the Ekl report; kind of like zero tolerance bookends!

We do appreciate (most of) the folks who spend the time to read and even comment on the subjects posted here. Without your participation this whole thing would be pretty dull. We sincerely thank you.

And finally, for our faithful PRU Tech whose tastes and interests are constantly curtailed by the less rowdy sensibilities of our PRU Admin, enjoy the vid below! The rest of you may want to turn down the sound if you choose to give "BOOM" by P.O.D. a listen.

Text Amendment for Temporary Overnight Shelter is on line under Planning and Zoning

Should make for some interesting weekend conversation.

Yes. Their choice.

Our Admin. won't let us remove the dead link.

Happy birthday, PRU.

You have done a great job of giving local government in Park Ridge a much needed kick in the ass, while opening up our eyes to the stuff that has generally escaped attention from the newspapers and been concealed by our public officials.

Bravo!

Congrats to the PRU crew. I haven't always agreed with you, but I have found your site worthwhile and I thank you for the effort you make and the underlying concern you seem to have for the community. Thank you.

Ditto,

Whether I agree or disagree with you on any given day, I am so happy that I (we) have an avenue to discuss issues.

It is so much better than having the spin spoon-fed to us.

Rock on PRU!!
