The Group
A moderated Facebook group where residents ask, answer, and look out for each other. The Local Communities reviews posts so the feed is worth reading.

Six starting points. Each listing still keeps its own category.
The Local Communities
How this community works
Three pieces, one rule: the feed stays useful for neighbors.
The Directory
Businesses join this directory so neighbors can find them. Your listing works around the clock on a list people actually browse.
The Spotlight
Every member business gets featured to the whole community. Real write-ups, not ads. The archive lives on The Local Communities.
Weekday Features
Member Spotlights
Every weekday The Local Communities features one local business from this directory. The archive stays on their site.
Real Member Spotlights live on The Local Communities. This card is an example only, so you can see the format when none are on this page.
Why neighbors use it
Search by trade or name, then call or open the site from the card. We show the logo, the category, and how to reach them. No star theater and no fake review counts.
Why businesses list
Your logo, category, phone, and website sit on a page people actually browse in Lee's Summit and across the metro. Membership is how you get on the directory neighbors use.
Community resources
Utilities, charities, and neighbors who need a hand have their own page. That is a different job from the paid business list.
