Times have changed greatly, with cars, transport, phones and the vast technology have effected social & economic's changing the community interaction of many towns. So its great that local areas have moved with the times and gives both community & ex pats local information, help, re-uniting lost people, sharing memories, social interaction & much more that surely benefits everyone connected with the area, plus feedback on things that effect the town & the towns people more effectively that some other meduims.
