Geneva Out & Around: You Know You're From Geneva When ...

... This amazing new Facebook Page is part of your life. This is absolutely the hottest must-read for any longtime Genevan.

I'm going to post this as a breaking news alert, just because it's so cool.

No, it's not police- or fire-related, or a weather warning or anything that you need to worry about—unless you're worried about having too much fun or spending too much time reminiscing.

I'm no expert in Facebook—in fact, I probably have more trouble navigating it than most—but you have GOT to get on You Know You Are From Geneva, Illinois When ... RIGHT NOW!

I have never seen anything take off so fast.

So, if you really want to be cool and an "instant longtime Geneva," please log on to http://www.facebook.com/groups/196953540366514/

And hey, anyone who is on that site, please log on and sign in to Geneva Patch. And friend Geneva Patch on Facebook, would you?

You might be (an old-timer) from Geneva if you remember when the downtown stores sold REAL merchandise that you needed for everyday life: when downtown had four drug stores, two dime stores, two shoe stores, a theater and a news agency.

Is Cunningham's office that insulated from what is going on in the real world? Fred Cregier
