I've started hooking up mailing lists to MailChimp. I like the integration, but need to check on the cost after you max the free plan. We'll have mailing lists for Neighborhood Updates, Hashtags/Memes, Daily Specials and Events. Subscribe to as little or much as you want by signing up on this website.
"As we roll into an election year, many cities are in a state of crisis. Budgets are a mess and job growth has been minimal for a good swath of the country.

"We decided that we're not going to run," said Jim Dauphin, 63, a Dutchtown resident for 34 years. "We were here before the thugs got here, and hopefully we're going to be here when the thugs are gone."
Edwards has purchased the vacant, century-old Delmar School building, perhaps better known as Roberts Chevrolet and then Milner's Chevrolet. It started life in 1910 as Pope-Hartford Motor Car Co., an early manufacturer of electric and other vehicles that resembled buggies on wheels. For most of the next 100 years, the property at 5875-5893 Delmar was used by transportation businesses.
