What else should people know about your site?
Area-Info.net was created to give people a voice in their community. We designed the site to be very local; to be a grassroots location where people can share news "over the fence."

What are your suggestions and/or links to other community news sites that should be added to the directory?
Because Area-Info.net is for local communities and not one specific location, would it be possible to list the "city home pages" for each of the county seats?
