CitySquares.com to Begin National Expansion
CitySquares.com to Begin National Expansion
CitySquares.com began as an online neighborhood community site for 7 neighborhoods in Boston. Over the summer, they expanded to include New England and recently added 1.7 million businesses to their New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania communities. They are one of the fastest growing local search sites on the web.
Now, CitySquares has their sights set on a national expansion, but they are proceeding with caution. They stress that they don’t want to be just another directory, but to truly offer online communities for local cities and neighborhoods across the United States.
Writing on the CitySquares blog, co-founders Bob Leland and Ben Saren said,
Whether a county in Montana, a borough in NY, a village in Vermont, or a neighborhood in Seattle, we want to get all the information about that community, that locale, online. Get the geopolitical information online, municipal information, local government, post office, libraries, public schools, trash and recycling collection schedules, historical facts, playgrounds, parking lots, public transportation, local school lunch menus, athletic program information, July 4th fireworks locations, and so much more. CitySquares’ vision is, and has always been, to be “Your Neighborhood, Online.” Not easy, but necessary. And it will happen.
