A website called American Towns is creating individual homepages for communities all over the country. They've even gotten around to making one for our own Claremont, CA, which you can see here. We've also added a link to the site in our local news blog roll in the margin to the left.
The site has links to lists of community organizations like the Kiwanis Club (former Claremont Mayor Paul Held presiding), the Candlelight Pavilion, the Pomona College Museum of Art, the Raymond M. Alf Museum of Paleontology at the Webb Schools, and many others.
The site also has local news, information about upcoming cultural and community events, as well as movie times, lists of restaurants, hotel information, and much more. Why, they even have an RSS feed from one local rabble-rousing blog
American Town co-president Jim Maglione was featured in a 1/14/07 New York Times article about hyperlocalism.
Think of the site as a digital town hall.
