I’ve recently become aware of a specialized networking site dedicated to showcasing professionals and services in local cities.  MyCityFaces.com has listings for many major cities, and people who [...]

I was chatting with some old high school friends today, and the topic came up about our Senior Year Spring Break. What a trip! Instead of doing the usual spring break stuff like partying and hanging at the beach, a group of us decided to do a Youth Outreach Week and go to New York [...]
