What's this all about?
Newsgarden is a web site that tells you what's happening in your neighborhood and you get to see - on a map - exactly where it's happening.
The Gateway's reporters and editors will provide the "regular" news while you add the neighborhood-level information that is important to you but would normally fly "under the radar" for the local newspaper.
After all, the Web is really good at telling you about lots of things, but what's going on in your neighborhood is not one of them. Newsgarden changes that by helping you see what's going on around you. So instead of visiting several different sites for news, local blogs and other information sites, you find links to the stuff that matters most to you (because it's closest to you) by visiting Newsgarden.
You could find a video on YouTube posted from a local festival, a photo posted to Flickr from a big house fire, a restaurant review from Chowhound on your favorite local pizza joint or a lost pet announcement that your neighbor posted (in addition to stapling posters on telephone poles).
You make it better
