Columbia City’s Awesome Wiki

So some of my coworkers want me to keep this under wraps, but I just can’t: The Columbia Citizens wiki is the coolest thing ever. Created and maintained by Columbia City residents, it includes a frequently updated calendar of neighborhood events, links to neighborhood resources, a gallery of CC residents’ photos, news links, volunteer opportunities, a very active discussion board, and even a list of bike routes for bike commuters (yes!! I added my own to the page already). I would love to see a similar site for every neighborhood in the city.

Why on earth do they want to keep it under wraps?

You CH femifoofoos, no matter who the f you're tied in with cybernetically, can't hold a candle to personalized tours of "our" fine landuse. Geesh, I gotta get to the laundromat, they're closed tomorrow. Thanks for the reminder. How did you know? thnks fer nuthing

That's pretty cool, but why just a wiki for every neighborhood, and not for the entire city? (Maybe one exists, I haven't looked). I mean, neighborhoods are great and all, but this city has such a neighborhood-against-neighborhood thing going on that it seems like having a wiki for, you know, the whole city would be a good idea. We might actually start feeling like a city, rather than just a bunch of feifdoms.

@6 oh for heavens, the world IS ending. Just Shout Me, this IS the dawning of the age of A_queer_we_us. I'll be at the laundramat, if anyone wants to discuss mass suicide.

June Bee: what??

Anyway, some of us down here in CC are glad for the notice of the local efforts to connect the community. Lots of good things happening here, even if some people have never even heard of our little neighborhood.
