Milestone for Plaintalker
As Plaintalker hits the 2,000 mark with blog posts, I want to say thanks to readers for your interest. It's about 50 months since the blog began with the main goal of informing citizens about city matters. Along the way, local photos and vignettes have become another thread. I hope to keep informing and entertaining you for many more months.--Bernice

Congratulations, Bernice! Your continuing objective reporting on Plainfield issues, good and and not so good, which escape the headlines is exactly what this city needs. I'm looking forward to the next 2,000. Everyone should remember that it is the tortoise that wins. All the best to you.
Hi Bernice,
Wow, 2000 postings! Keep up the great work. I'm happy to have had a part in the formation of what has become the "blog of record" for Plainfield.
Best regards,
Barbara Kerr
OMG, you accept flowers from a Republican?!!
The question is, will you be offered any from the Democrats?
Months?????? You do mean years, don't you darling?
To PubliusNJ:
When I was editor of a Plainfield weekly in the mid-1980s, I often pondered how to understand the city's many divisions - political, racial, economic and religious - and was left with the thought that the only meaningful divide was between people of good will and those not of good will. Jim Pivnichny is a man of good will, in my opinion, and if he wants to send me a flower online, I appreciate it.
This constant demonization of fellow Plainfielders, sometimes called the crabs-in-a-barrel syndrome, works to defeat any good-will efforts to improve and advance the city. If you speak to this one, you get a bulls-eye on your back. If you speak to that one, you are in the crosshairs of another faction. Until there is more collegiality than contention, Plainfield will stay stuck like a bug in amber.
I read this blog after, but don't always post. I had to respond this time. You hope to keep doing this "for many more months." Is that all? We need you longer than that Bernice! (smile)
Congratulations on the milestone, Bernice! Not only do you keep me up on various town topics, but I enjoy your photos and vignettes as well.
You're the only person besides myself that has been attracted enough to photograph both "The Wizard Awaits You" building and the ornate Ford building. Somewhere in my digital photos I have that one from a few years back, too.
You rock! (Which is a good thing.)
