We've just added forums for a bunch of metro areas. You'll find them toward the bottom of the list on the forums page (so they don't get in the way of the topic-specific forums), and metro areas are listed in alphabetical order. I've started just with those metro areas from which I've noticed significant numbers of visits. Since we're pretty new, this is only a handful of places. If you don't see one for your area, please let me know! (Use the contact form under the "About Us" menu.)
We're thinking these local forums can be a way for people to talk about issues that are facing their own local communities, and as a way for people to meet other interesting people in their areas, but we're sure you'll come up with other interesting uses for them!

...and very cool that J'ville has its own forum. Little towns like ours usually get left out in the cold for places like NYC, Atlanta, Philly, LA, etc.
Thanks for that.
Also, I note that this blog entry isn't showing up in the Recent Member Blog Posts section of the right side bar. Is is not supposed to for some reason?

You're very welcome JanieBelle. I made it just for you. Now get your friends over here so you aren't so lonely in that forum, there!
The reason it doesn't show up in the "recent blog posts" on the sidebar is that I created the item as a story and not a blog post. I'm trying to decide how to treat info about the site -- should it be part of my onsite blog or should it be separate. I hadn't considered that by making it a "story" and thus not part of a blog that it would be absent from the sidebar. Thanks for pointing that out!
