Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Do you know Durango is?

[Joyce Cheney (jcheneyjc]

marketing materials should make it as easy as possible for people to go where 
you want them to. Not everyone not familiar with S. CO or Durango is lazy! How 
many towns in Georgia or Maine do SW residents know? Sure they can look Durango 
up. Why not welcome seekers by making it easy to find Durango?
