The Buzz Is Back!

by Ruby (editor) 10-23-2009

We are back, a little leaner but we're still in the game. We were able to weather the recession/depression but had to rework our site and consolidate files in order to reduce our costs.

This site is driven by you, our guests and viewers, so we rely on you to share and provide us with the inside information that the big agencies don't get or won't report. For that reason we need you to contribute your stories, photographs and videos. It's easy if you can send an email, and it won't cost you anything but a few moments of your time.

Tell your friends about The Buzz! We are still constructing and expanding, be sure to drop by often.
