local

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!
