Timely events, openings, civic changes, and practical local updates.
Worth your time
A short list with context, not an automated stream of every local headline.
Easy to verify
Every reported item points back to a real source so readers can go deeper.
For local businesses
Become a founding local partner.
We are building a useful city briefing and a small group of early business partners alongside it. Founding partners can help shape the format before the first paid packages launch.

Questions, answered
Is it really free?
Yes, always. Sidewalk Post is supported by local advertisers, not your wallet.
How often will I hear from you?
We are starting with one concise edition each week. We may add a second only when it is genuinely useful.
My city isn't listed. Can I still sign up?
Absolutely. Join the waitlist and we'll notify you the day your city goes live.
Who writes it?
Source-gathering tools help find candidates, but a person reviews every edition before it is sent.
Be there for the first edition.
Pick your city and join the interest list. We'll let you know when the first useful weekly edition is ready.
