for a hilarious comment! We have some folks who do Trap Spay Neuter (feral cats) and they are invaluable.

There is a map posted on Halloween to let folks know if you are giving out treats,

and a map to mark really great Christmas decorations around the area.

I wrote a review of a pizza place we really like and apparently about 25 people who read the review all showed up at the same time on a Sunday night and he was by himself. He had to call two workers back in to take care of the business. That was an example of great use of the site.

THen those folks came back and wrote their own rave reviews.
