FYI everyone - the transfer station is currently NOT taking glass because there is no market for it at present.

I'm setting up a forum for environmental concerns, especially concerns in our mountain community of Union County and the tri-state. I will link my forum and the other forums including blairsvillecity to my main site I am building. I would like suggestions for the forum domain name, for example, I'm thinking greenspace.proboards.com since I'll be using Pro Boards. It is the best forum I have found yet. I have found it to be feature friendly, it is easy to set up, I don't need a local server, and it is administrator friendly. So, thanks blairsvillecity.com for showing me the way. I also need your input about categories. I'm thinking about including topics like junk ordinance and other issues that concern us. Some of the topics may include: Hiking Camping RV message board Union County Environmental Concerns Junk Removal You decide.... |

Thanks Honeybee. I've been thinking about it for it a while, but you and shortcircuit gave me the inspiration to get it going. Thanks again, we may need that truck.
I've decided on greenspace to include with the domain name and I did set up a forum. When I get time i'll add to the categories/forums and povide a link here, as well as, a link to the site. This weekend and tomorrow I'm going to the woods where there are no computers, but I should be getting it together next week sometime.

Well there's still a few junk cars in front of Bobs pawn shop and still a big pile of construction equipment beside BiLo, so evidently the police dept isn't enforcing the law.
