[RP TownTalk] Towntalk

Wed Jan 8 23:40:25 UTC 2020

Hi everyone- the Hyattsville HOPE group recently migrated to groups.io as did a professional group I’m a part of. It’s very easy to navigate platform and I would recommend that we try it out for Towntalk.If someone sets up the account before The current host shuts down, you could send out a link to the current membership so they could enroll in the new platform if they wish . If you want my help setting it up I’m happy to offer it. It won’t take more than 20 minutes.Kathy

Hi,

I would like to see Town Talk remain as well but if not, Next Door is another forum I use for Town and neighboring town, and County information.  I?m on both but i doubt most people subscribe to both.

I think it would be a real loss if TownTalk were to shut down altogether. That being said, it could also be much more useful, interesting, and relevant if more people subscribed and contributed.  We have a lot of new residents in town, but I don't know how many of them have subscribed, or are even aware of TownTalk.
