Madison, Indiana...

Where I spent some time last summer, has a FaceBook page.  Mind you, Indiana doesn't have a Sunshine Law like Florida does, but I wanted to share a FaceBook post from that city which is using FaceBook to publicize an opportunity for interaction with city officials.

I have posted about this city before - that is was the first National Trust Main Street community.  It has a "time capsule" downtown that appears to be from the late 1800s.  It was the setting for the movie "Some Came Running" which starred Shirley MacLaine, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin.  A few weeks ago, I woke up very early, turned on the TV and on AMC, the movie was playing.  It was the first time I had seen it.  The theater on Main Street in Madison plays it often and they also have public showings in the park during the summer.  The town in the movie is called "Parkman." 

This is another example of a community using social media to communicate and interact with its citizenry.  It's also an example of a community that knows how to honor and celebrate its past.
