I live around the 115th and Homan area, and from what I've heard, not many of our neighbors know about this blog. How are you getting the word out?
As with many blogs commenting on city politics and lack of common sense, anonymity is a must. Some at MTGP have inside information on the goings on of police and politics in the community. MTGP understands that some political figures are extremely vengeful when a member of their community uses their first amendment rights to express their lack of support for a politician's lack of common sense. That being said, a politician could attack a rabble rouser with city inspectors, attack individuals with threats at their job and so on.
Our tactic to get out word of this blog is through its readers and the word of mouth scenario. MTGP is aware that SCC (Second City Cop) used small business cards initially to get the word out and that has worked tremendously. MTGP's hope is by posting responses on other blogs (like SCC or Shaved --- links on side bar), people will be curious and click on the name and then find the blog. MTGP is also hopeful that the powers that be behind those popular blogs feel that this blog is relevant and choose to link us one day.
Please, get out the word about this blog to the members of the neighborhood. It is through our community that we will be able to provide the information to each other to keep our community as safe as can be.

I just found you on Second City. I will spread the word.
MTGP would like to add this. We are not looking for fame or fortune. We are doing this because we are seeing problem forming in our community and in other communities around the city. We need to stay ahead of the game, and this is one tool to use to accomplish that. We would be perfectly happy if only Mt Greenwood residents read this blog. That would help to accomplish our goals at MTGP. At least, then, our community would be aware of what was going on around them and would know when they saw something out of the ordinary, to react and at the very least call 911.
I created a post about your blog on our blog .
