Ideas for a stronger community site

Practical upgrades for a neighborhood website — beyond a pretty blog template.

Done

Living community calendar

Shipped — dated event list on /events plus ICS subscribe at /calendar.ics.

Neighborhood directory

A short, curated Del Cerro Boulevard / San Carlos guide with hours, maps, and “newly opened” badges beats buried blog posts.

Done

Submit a tip form

Shipped — moderated tip form on /contact writes to a pending queue (data/tips.json).

Archive vs. active content

Mark AmazonSmile-era posts as historical. Keep the voice, drop dead links, and surface what’s still actionable.

Civic & school links

Pin Navajo Community Planners, Council District 7, Green Elementary, Pershing, and SDSU community calendars.

Emergency & wildfire readiness

Hillside neighborhoods need a quiet utility strip: AlertSD, evacuation routes, and Mission Trails / Lake Murray advisories.

Done

Fix Contact

Shipped — /contact is a working moderated tip form (Webflow’s route 404’d).

Local photography

Swap stock Escape-template imagery for Cowles, Lake Murray, boulevard storefronts, and real Turkey Trot photos.

Mobile-first event flyers

Turkey Trot graphics are great — add plain-text fallbacks for screen readers and small screens.

Own the domain & newsletter

Move off webflow.io staging, keep graphics local (done here), and reconnect the email signup to a real list.
