“Where is Greenville Street Park?” How parks can play an important role in YOUR business.

Richard, We've done a few park related posts, but not nearly as many as we could have.  Interestingly, the idea was nagging at me yesterday as I drove past a couple of local parks on the way to get dinner.  They do lead to the occasional call about Frisbee Golf tournaments and Easter Egg Hunt details.

Thank you for the great idea!  This is something I would have never thought about.

Good morning Richard,

I get those calls too and they make me so happy.  That means we are helping our community and getting great web exposure.  Yea you!!

I agree. Great way to represent your area and connect with people.

They are building a Park right next to me and I will be blogging away...Thanks for the confirmation

Richard, never thought about including parks. We've got some County and State parks in the area. Thanks for the tip.

H Richard, this is a great idea and great localism. Have you ever had one turn into a real estate call?         

Richard  So true. I receive calls on this type post regularly.  Congrats on the feature

Great post and enjoyed reading the comments, here in the local community of San Diego, California we have some great state parks, and hiking trails.

Richard, I did a series on Lancaster County parks, too, and I got a better than average response.  I also enjoyed doing them - they provided some of my better photos.

Great post and oh so true. Local posts are great, especially public spaces like parks. I've done several posts on the Piazza, a park in downtown Renton. Also, it's where they hold the Farmers Market and in the summer live music. I get quite a lot of attention writing about the Piazza and many of the events that are held there.

We have several nice parks in our area. They are a true asset to our residents. When I have out of town couples with children, I sometimes stop and let the children run and play for a while. It helps them use up some energy fast.

Richard, I agree with you, parks are an amazing asset to any community! And writing about them is proven to be a timeless well read article(s). Thanks for sharing this with us. 

I did a post ONCE about a new emergency room, it was years ago.  I still get calls with folks asking for directions or for medical advice.  I have since updated the post to boldly state who to actually call in the event of a real emergency.

Enough localism posts and I think we all become a tour guide for somebody looking for contact information regarding how to get somewhere, what hours something is open, the telephone number to reach a business. 

Interesting Richard.  Maybe we should all blog a bit more about parks and other local attractions.

Being the first to blog about a new restaurant or business opening is a phone ringer too! :)))
