“Baristanet was born in May 2004 and soon after emerged as a leader in both hyperlocal blogging and the online citizen journalism movement….
Debbie Galant and Liz George, co-owners and editors of Baristanet, run the site, assisted in great part by daily editor Annette Batson. The biggest contributors to the site are our readers — their active participation has turned Baristanet into a true online community and the destination for breaking local news, airing opinionated views, and yes, poking fun at suburbia whenever possible.”
Montclair is very popular for filming iconic American suburban scenes due to its mostly traditional to contemporary local aesthetic and middle to upper middle class demographic. Montclair’s proximity is well within the local limits of all known NYC film zones and provides relative ease of access from Manhattan by film crews and photo crews. Montclair contains lots of dining options as well as plentiful shopping and other possibly production-related resources in Montclair itself and nearby, its northern New Jersey locale being a densely populated suburban area. The local government is knowledgeable and experienced with regard to dealing with production and filming. The Montclair, NJ Municipal Clerk’s Office oversees film permit applications.
Blogs like Baristanet, Brownstoner or Gothamist are very valuable for location scouting as they will typically contain recent very locally focused news, opinions (and sometimes even facts 
and often contain local photography useful for visual references of places or properties in the area.
