The Slabtown Chronicle

One of my very good old friends, JD Chandler, started his new web site yesterday. The Slabtown Chronicle is a true crime blog, but also more that. I'll let Mr. Chandler explain:

"what i want this blog to be, though is a specific blog about crime in the Pacific Northwest, especially in the Portland Metro Area, where i live. but i also want it to reflect my interest in the history of murder in this area as well. so i intend to write mostly about historical crimes. i will keep up with current things that catch my attention as well. who knows what might develop here. i intend for it to be interesting reading if nothing else."

Yes, "interesting reading." I've admired his writing since we were in High School together thirty years ago. Of the first two postings, one is a case from a few years back and the other comes from this week's headlines and is still developing. I'm anxious to see what comes next.
