    It would be nice if this worked, but the reality on the ground is that a significant portion of local businesses, events, and social groups exist only on Facebook and if you don't want to be on Facebook your option is to not participate or work with significantly incomplete or out of date information.

    Because of this, numbers aren't published, flyers are not distributed widely if at all, and unless you know someone on the inside who relays information to you you will miss lots.
