Places: With many new readers checking the site out after last night's concert, I urge you to check out our directory of local businesses. If you own a business, make sure we have it listed. If the photographs are terrible, let us know and we'll plan to take new ones, or consider uploading your own. If it's not there, let us know right away and we'll get one created. And be sure to rate and review your favorite and least favorite businesses. Thousands of people end up in our directory every month via Google and on their smartphones as they search for places to eat, shop and things to do.
