There will also be some minor facade changes (going to WordPress as CSS).  Our first order of business is to update the various real estate and vendor directories. With the death of the traditional yellow pages, online directories can fill that void.  Ours will be enhanced with social media links (Facebook and Twitter) and presented without clutter (one table, one screen, alphabetic).

To add or update your listing, simply email us (ed@the804.com). Thanks.
