Welcome to Our Town online!

We hope this will complement the work we already do in print and provide a forum for feedback and interaction.

All of the stories that are delivered to your mailbox in the print edition were posted online at noon today. Some are missing photos, others have some glitches here and there. We hope to have that worked out soon. Features like Datebook and Marketplace are also empty right now. Forgive the delay, we’ll get those up and running as soon as possible.

In the meantime, take a look around the site. Let us know what works and what doesn’t, and what you’d like to see in Our Town online.

Jennifer White designed the site’s framework. I’m uploading and refining our content.

Any and all input welcome. Feel free to comment below or drop me an email at [email protected]
