I like what you've done with pdxstump, I even posted it on pdxwi.com a couple weeks ago. I'm coming at it a little bit different but I know we're all (goboz included) trying to come up with cool ways to find local stuff on the web. Mine's mostly an experiment, not sure where it will go, but I liked the single page aggregator idea and ran with it to see how well it scaled to any city I want to include. So far I've got 53, some with better/more interesting content than others, and it should be able to grow from there. Thanks for comment Ben.

I wish I had metrobuzz. It's the shortened version "metbuzz" that was available. I should inquire about metrobuzz though. Hey Kathy. I wish I had metrobuzz.
