Entered by denise on Wed Jul 25 19:19:15 UTC 2007:

This item is for any cool local websites or blogs that we come across
[for AA/Ypsi and  surrounding areas; cool ones about Michigan [the state
of, not just the University of] are  welcome as well.

I just recently came across a website/blog called downtownypsi.org. I
haven't read a  whole lot of it yet, there IS a discussion going on
about other stuff recently discussed here  on Grex.  Like there's one
that started out as an item about that new Mecican Market on  Michigan
Ave that just recently opened, it's now expanded into a discussion about
the local  food co-ops and if/how they may or may not be cost effective
for those on limited  incomes.  So check it out!  You can read the web
pages as a visitor or you can sign up for  an account [so you can post
comments and such].

So what other cool sites are out there?

The one I find most interesting is Edward  Vielmetti's.

He's got some nice links too.

But why so shy?  How about posting the link to your blog?

I keep my blog on two sites, mostly because I prefer one and my readers 
appear to prefer the other ;)

They are

Thanks for the links mentioned above... [And was able to find a couple
other cool sites to  bookmark, too].  Lynne, I had run across your blog
awhile back but didn't know then how  to bookmark it.  Now I do... :-)

A nice web based feed reader is http:\\bloglines.com

Also, the Safari Browser on Mac OS X (which is the one I think Denise
uses) has built-in RSS support.
