This site gives you the ability to do anything...post on the Message Boards, write your own blog in the Journal section, write an individual article that will be featured on the main page, have your Neighborhood Association listed, it gives you up-to-date news as it happens, interesting videos, interviews and surveys. It allows for opposing views and it maintains decency. What more can you ask for?
