In need of a relaxing night out? Away from the hustle and bustle? A time to wind down? How about a healthy dose of smooth jazz?!!
Many moons ago I ran into Dick Marsho at a local printer. It was nice meeting him again since we hadn't seen each other for quite some time. He said he was involved in a jazz organization and they were in the planning stages for a Jazz Festival in Peoria. I had been in the music business for many years so I was fascinated by what he had to say.
I investigated the... Read full post

I've patronized just about every Peoria related website that has ever been. Many of the older sites, including all of mine, have found their way to the great cyber graveyard. There are several that have picked up the slack and are doing quite well. I like both Peoria.com and ExplorePeoria.com for what they are have accomplished, especially without big media backing. I've got a pretty good idea where CitiSlicker fits. Now, as I'm finally wearing my marketing hat again, a heck of lot more fun... Read full post

Where else could you share your inner most feelings, dreams, bad news and good news with 500 of your closest friends?  Where else could you tell off our boss and hope to get away with it? Where else could you gather all the people together that you haven't seen or heard from for... Read full post

   I'm intrigued by how businesses, especially small businesses, are born and grow. I often thought of investing some time in learning the history of Peoria area businesses, unfortuately every time I get close to such a venture I realize it would be virtually impossible for me to find satisfaction. There just isn't enough time in a day.
   For many small businesses there will be no recorded legacy. This is sad. I offer CitiSlicker to my small business friends in the Peoria... Read full post

     Welcome to Peoria.CitiSlicker.com! This new social site is born of a dream. One that, for almost 20 years, has occupied a substantial and permanent space in my soul. It's a process, a concept, an adventure, a tool that I wish I had available to me over the past 39 years to promote and grow my businesses and community involvement.
     The hardest, yet most important and unfortunately the most expensive, thing that any small business person or... Read full post
