Plainfield Year in Review: Best of the Blogs

What did our Local Voices have to say in 2012?

Here at Patch, we encourage readers to speak their minds; we've even got a platform for local bloggers who have something to say to the community.

So here's a roundup of what Plainfield Local Voices bloggers had to say in 2012:

  • Blog: How a Londoner Fell in Love with Chicago: English expat Lysa Heaton shared the story of how she crossed the pond and found a new home in Chicagoland.
  • Remember This Story on Memorial Day: A heartbreaking reflection on what Memorial Day means for Gold Star families.
  • Blog: Burger Wars!!!: Plainfield Patch's "best burger" Readers' Choice competition stirred up quite the lively discussion (OK, fighting) among readers. Blogger Brandon Andreasen had some fun with it — and found an excuse to try almost every burger in town.
  • : Andreasen turned to a much more serious subject in the wake of the Sandy Hook school shooting.
  • : Christine Cacciatore's annoyance at Redbox rule-breakers drew quite a reaction from some readers.
  • Blog: Andy Comes Home -- What I Remember: Denise Williams shares the story of her son's homecoming; 22-year-old Pfc. Andrew Meari was killed in Afghanistan.
