There are lots of web sites helpful to people who live here, starting with news, weather and local event calendars. Online phonebooks and maps are excellent.  Golden Peaks is the local seniors group.

Essex County services for seniors are extensive and the County offers an excellent resource directory and a booklet called "Where to Turn"

MAKING A COMMUNITY: Churches, libaries, active political groups and the richness and scope of our local Giving and Volunteering all enable a better quality of life in our community.

A&E: There is more to the arts and entertainment scene here than you might think and this section contains the calendars for every area movie house, performing arts group, etc.  Or maybe you just what to know what is on TV?

TRAVEL: Everyone needs to leave Town now and then so you need to know road conditions, options for getting to/from NYC and Montreal, how to chose among our 4 area airports, Champlain ferry schedules, and my own selection of the best web travel sites.

PRACTICAL STUFF:  Local food sources, health care, education for all ages, tools for managing your utility bills and government services all help make living in our Town even sweeter.
