Olde Towne recently launched a new website at oldetowneeast.org.
Any suggestions for additional content or general comments are greatly appreciated. We're really trying to provide a resource for residents as well as potential visitors to gain information about the neighborhood. Thanks

Very nice!!! Clean, modern, easy to look at. One thing...I'd love to see more of a banner head at the top as opposed to the small Olde Town logo: visually, there's space to make good use of and draw in people who aren't familiar with the awesomeness of the area already. :)

I also like the site and I would also echo what L-Rag said. Maybe put in a banner filled with prominent buildings and features of the neighborhood, just to add a little more substance to the top. Also, it would nice to have a photo section. I would even volunteer some time to take some for the site. I have a pretty good camera and I've taken up photography as a hobby of mine. Unless you want a "professional" to take them. lol.

How about history of the neighborhood- OTE has a rich history that not a lot of people are aware of? Also, an events calendar- kinda like the one GV has on their website, to let visitors know, "hey, this is happening right here in OTE"?
Like what jpizzow said- More photos, and more visuals.

Excellent new Olde Towne site and great makeover - very hip, current and cool. Great old houses and new hip, young, fun, edgy residents, as well as a nice business renaissance on Oak and Parsons!
I support all the above input and also would like to thank you for your efforts, valued time and hardwork!

+1 on the history/heritage. The PBS special on the KLD was an eye opener. It was great to see how it thrived (and not that long ago).

Still need to go through the site but one suggestion might be to do an expose on some of the slumlords in the neighborhood such as Minnie McGee. People like her, who own dozens upon dozens of properties and maintain them to the utmost minimalist standards really do depress the neighborhood IMHO.

Thanks everyone! I've implemented most of your suggestions. Still working on the header graphic.
In the meantime, we just switched over to an official Facebook fan page (we had a friend page for the longest time). We'd appreciate your likes! http://www.facebook.com/oldetowneeast
