The Akron Blogosphere

- Date: Nov 30,2008
For my final post at Politics.Ohio.com, I wanted to give our readers a few blogs for you to check out that I believe do an excellent job here in Akron. Let me preface these references by saying these are a few of my personal favorites. Time is a finite resource and I don't read every blog. I know there are lots of other good sites out there as the Akron blogosphere continues to build its reputation.
TheChiefSource.com – This is my blog. We are proud to support our fellow Akron bloggers and appreciate their work.
EricMansfield.blogspot.com – He's got his pulse on what is happening in Akron and Northeast Ohio. As a news anchor for WKYC in Cleveland, Eric can provide a perspective that most other sites can't because of his access to information and his relationships with people.
Grumpy Abe – This site is written by retired Akron Beacon Journal Columnist Abe Zaidan. The posts are fantastic and loaded with opinion. Of all the sites I read, this one makes me laugh the most. It is a newcomer to the Akron blogging scene and I hope a permanent fixture.
Pho's Akron Pages – Pho knows politics, the law, and Akron very well. All his posts are well written and interesting. He writes on topics happening up the block or on the other side of the world with clarity and wit. It is a fun site to read and has some great comment threads.
Fem Dem In Akron – Katie shares her perspective on events local and national. This past fall she was profiled in the Washington Post for her involvement in the Obama campaign.
LongLiveTheVillageGreen.com – This site is based in Kenmore, Ohio. They provide a unique perspective on their community, public education, and the arts. The site covers a range of topics and regularly posts some great music. God save strawberry jam and all the different varieties.
These are just a few of the sites I check out. If you have a blog here in Akron, please post the address in the comments so I can check it out. Thank you for reading my posts. See you around Akron.

Thanks once again to both of you and continued success in life and blogging.
Having been chosen to write a quest column for your blog helped me understand the time and effort that goes into the posts. I was amazed at the vicious personal attacks and misrepresentation of my thoughts by those that live to engage in tearing down others.
Both of you are to be commended on your professionalism and class. Although both of you have strong opinions they were presented in a professional manner and seldom did you engage in personal attacks. How you managed to ignore the mindless and vicious attacks from some of the morons that commented on your posts is atribute to your class.
I only wish the ABJ would have marketed your site with the same effort you two gave. Thanks again
Wait, dont I have a website?
It's Kyle's version of the Fairness Doctrine, Ben.
