The goal of this social network and accompanying blog is to inspire people to crowdsource the kinds of places, events and scenes that they know should exist, but don't. Here's how:

Create a new Group to start crowdsourcing the kind of project you'd like to see in your city or neighborhood. Is it a coffeehouse? A coworking site? Attainably-priced lofts? You define the vision, then start attracting people to build up a crowd. What's next? Once you build up a sizable crowd of at least a hundred people; a beta community, we'll help you find a 'Sponsor', that is, an entrepreneur willing to work with your group to implement your collective vision. We'll call it the CoolTown Crowdsourced Placemaking Challenge.
