HAPPY SIXTH ANNIVERSARY MAPLEWOODIAN.COM

It's been six years since we first launched on New Year's Eve 2008. Longtime readers might recall it was the sudden resignation of former Mayor Ken Pettis that drove me to launch the site I had been contemplating for months.

When Pettis resigned his post, and the Township Committee, it got little to no real news coverage.

Since we posted that among our first stories, we have ridden the rollercoaster of Township news through two hurricanes, snow storms, murders, political battles, school board fights, budget cuts, landmark gay weddings, and pride and support for our great township.

Along with what we believe is important information and opinion, you can keep expecting police scanner reports, podcast interviews of local and national figures and updates of breaking news. All just for Maplewood.

Other local websites have come and gone, but we will continue to provide the best of news, views and rants as long as you will have us as the only locally-owned, independent website strictly dedicated to Maplewood and information of interest to our residents. Thank you for supporting us and our advertisers.

Keep sending your tips and ideas to editor@maplewoodian.com

Happy New Year!
