Welcome to ElmGroveNow.com

This Web site combines the efforts of the Journal Sentinel and Community Newspapers newsrooms to bring you the latest news and information about Elm Grove. But mostly, we want this Web site to be about you - the people who live in the community.

Right now, this is a "Beta" Web site, which means we're still developing it, seeing what works and what doesn't, getting out into the community to find out what you'd like it to be. We want it to become a gathering place online for you and your neighbors.

Even in "Beta," though, we hope we've got plenty to offer you. Here's what:

NEWS

"CommunityWatch" is an extension of JSOnline's NewsWatch. In it, we'll bring you a quick take on the latest news and information just about the Elm Grove area - from what's happening in government and the schools, to new businesses and developments coming to town, to the daily buzz of such things as traffic, crime and big news about your neighbors.

We want "CommunityWatch" to be really current, so if you know of some news in Elm Grove, please let us know.

In addition, we'll provide an archive of news and sports stories about Elm Grove that have appeared in Community Newspapers and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. And we'll post weekly police blotters and home sale prices.

THE BASICS

Check out the Community Guide for the staples of information about the village. You'll find names and phone numbers of elected officials, lots of school information, demographic trends, links to area organizations and businesses, and much more.

Frankly, there's so much about a community that residents may want to know that we surely don't have it all. So, again, let us know if you have any ideas.

YOUR STORIES

Do you have some news that you'd like to share with the rest of the community? Did your youngster just make the honor roll? Did your local organization name its new officers? Your Stories is your spot to tell your neighbors, in your own words, about what's going on with your family, business, school or organization.

YOUR PHOTOS

Right now, go ahead and post your photos - the ones that show us and everyone else who you are and what you care about. As long as they don't cross the line - and you'll probably know if they do - we'll post them.

CALENDARS

Garden tours, pancake breakfasts, art exhibits, charity walks and runs, candidate forums - this is the place to find out what events are happening in Elm Grove. Soon, we'll open it up to allow you to post your group's calendar events.

BUSINESS LISTINGS AND CLASSIFIEDS

Looking for a new job? Need a new car? Checking out new homes? ElmGroveNOW.com enables you to search the Journal Sentinel and Community Newspapers classified sections online. There's also MilwaukeeMarketplace.com, where you can find local products, business listings, area mall information, special offer coupons and more. And we have an online Yellow Pages as well.

***

We know that to make this Web site a place people want to visit regularly, we'll need your help. So, Elm Grove, we want to hear from you! Call NOW editor Mark Maley at (262) 446-6630 or use our "Got a Tip" form to let us know what's happening and what you think.
