So, after putting some more time into the site, I thought I'd get everyone up to speed on what's been done:

• First, I changed the menu links that didn't have any real content to point to a message requesting help.
• There is a boat load of new events in the calender; mostly concerning civic meetings, but also a few band performances and other stuff.
• I started pounding pavement and am trying to get around to visiting as many restaurants and businesses as possible. You can see there are now some restaurant profiles complete with maps, info, specials, and menus. Much more to come.
• The first round of content contributors have started to trickle in and create accounts - but we still need a lot more people.
• There are a few new games in the arcade. They're called Cover Orange, Planarity, and The Gun Game - great time wasters while you're on the clock.
• I'm also trying to get those in the entertainment field on board as well. Comedians and musical performers will be able to provide some interesting flavor to the mix. Later, stage theater will start to unfold as well.
• Lastly, I published a rough ward map in the civics section. That was a definate pain to produce as I had that tiny low-res picture from the eMichiganCity site to go off of. It will get better though.

Hi there.  Glad you could make it.  I'll assume you've read into the latest CB issue and have some idea of what we're all about here.  Feel free to browse around but keep in mind most content is scarce at this point in time.  In the few weeks that CB is on hiatus you will see content start to blossom.  We can only put so much up ourselves at this point, and are currently recruiting people to do some writing about the things they are passionate about.  If you are a leader in a church group, club, political party, sports league, or anything else - drop us a line.  We'd love to hear from you and keep people updated on what you do.  You needn't have experience in writing either - if you can type that's good enough for us.

The 'About So!MC' link at the top right will give you further background in the development and philosophy behind this project.

This is the first bit of update information.  Actually quite useless at present, but it's here so I can start filling in the menu items with more than fluff.

Here is what I have done:
(though So!MC is never done)

1. Business Directory
2. Arcade
3. Photo Gallery
