Local Content by Local People
bq. I started devouring the local listings guides to find more events: the Village Voice listings, the Time Out NY events calendar, the New Yorker’s Goings On About Town. I found the hundreds of events in the listings overwhelming: what I really wanted was someone to find the most interesting events and tell me which ones to go to. I wanted that someone to be an expert in their field. And I wanted that someone to cover niche categories that just weren’t in the local event listings: jazz jam sessions in the Village, kickboxing matches in Queens, or Haitian dance classes near Union Square.
bq. In short, I wanted a local events blog. And so, Cityblogs.com was born.
This is a cool idea! I wonder if we’ll get something like in the DC area.
