How's the Weather There in 1992?
How come North Adams doesn't have a good city web site yet? One with FAQs about city government, ordinances, taxes, neighborhood and place names and maps, building codes, fire and police regs, parking, school info, snow emergency news, election information, a cultural calendar, or the transfer station (Wes--the guy at the dump was nice to me...of course, paying $55 to get a sticker for the van that died 90 minutes after its first and only trip there...O Irony, Lay The Hell Off Me)? I had read in the paper at one point that the folks at Boxcar Media got the contract for it, but that was months ago. When is v1.0 about to go live?
At least we can pay our property tax and water bill online.
Here in 2006, when your Aunt Gert's sewing circle gets its own Yahoo Group and the town of Lanesborough has a better web site than you do--it's time to easily and cheaply make it just that much easier for non-area people to get the information they need to come here and hit the ground running. We don't need to have Cambridge's...or Pittsfield's...or Fitchburg's...or even Adams'...but it would have helped us a lot, and will definitely help new folks find their way here and their way around.
