Digital Edition: September / October 2013

“Now More than a Magazine, a Community Hub”

LocaLeben is taking the trademark charm of the town we love and giving it a home online, for a ‘Main Street’ experience with the connectedness and convenience of the 21st century.

There’s nothing better than the feeling we get from the place we call home. The familiar faces and places of our community are the foundations of treasured memories: the market you visit for Sunday night supper’s last minute ingredients, the park where your youngster first learned to throw that famous curve ball, the coffee shop where you always run into a friend.

Now we’re adding fresh ways to interact with the great local stories that color our community. Stay connected and go behind the scenes with us to get to know this town even better. Comment on articles, enter and vote in contests, and help create a showcase of what makes us special.

Our Event Calendar makes it easy to discover and share local happenings and fun activities so you’ll never miss a town hall meeting or weekend concert again. You can even list your upcoming event for free to spread the word about an upcoming garage sale or neighborhood block party.

Using our handy Directory you can find and share tips on where to experience the best of what our community has to offer. It’s easy and free for businesses, non-profits and community organizations to be included in Directory, and you’ll be getting so much more than a simple listing.

Best of all, you’ll be able to share anything from this local treasure trove with friends and neighbors easily through email, Facebook, Twitter and more – plus, Google loves us. With so many good people and great stories to celebrate, check back with us often for the latest from around town. We’re bringing the community together online and helping businesses join the conversation. Welcome home, we’re so glad you’re here.
