HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MAPLEWOODIAN.COM

We launched Maplewoodian.com eight years ago this week with the goal of presenting news that might not be getting covered about our town, and other interesting items and views.

You may recall the 2008 resignation of former Mayor Ken Pettis received little attention in local and regional news outlets. That sparked the idea that there should be a news site devoted only to Maplewood.

And eight years later, we are happy to still be here, digging up news of interest and importance, as well as a little fun.

We also won our first award this past year as The New Jersey Society of Professional Journalists offered a First Place honor for local news.

But it is you, the readers -- and often tipsters -- of news in our town that we most value and we hope you will stay with us for the oldest, and only free, local news website in town.

Keep sending tips and ideas and announcements to us at editor@maplewoodian.com. And make sure to support our advertisers. 

Thanks again!
