Good idea!

Rather opinionated and close to a personal attack.........

Are garbage systems now being listed on eBay?

Google and Village Community Development Districts are your friend. EVERYTHING in the tree-killing book (except for all the phone numbers of which probably 75% are outdated and which very often ends up in the trash can easily be found online on your computer or your cell phone through lots of villages resources even including maps and navigation to wherever you need to go. How do you find people in your home state? DO yo through every listing line by line and randomly call them to say hi??

I have the TV phone book on my kitchen counter. Although I Google nearly everything I used that phone book to check out taxi and other services. For residents our neighborhood has an up to date quite detailed phone book which I treasure, everyone lists their numbers and contacts and it is strictly local. Very useful.
