Local Still Isn't Online
There's just all this information out there that's still completely "under the radar" of the web. Being a parent, I'm always searching for interesting things to do with my kid, and am always amazed at how much information still travels through word of mouth. Not being particularly social, and not being a "Mom" - as apparently there's an underground network for mothers-only it seems - I don't hear about a lot of it until it's too late.
I started thinking about this stuff around the Fourth of July - I tried to look up where the various fireworks displays were going to be and found almost nothing but outdated info - community calendars long out of date, news items from years past, etc. Happily the day before the holiday, the local newspaper published a list of displays online and I was able to find a show. Where they got all that info, however, is a mystery. It's indicative of most local event information - it's all out there, just not searchable online.
