Skyscrapers are an inherent part of any city- however, in this case, Spartanburg wants to establish a height restriction. The problem is that some...

1. No checking in to your house. People, stop adding your homes as venues.
1a. No checking in to different rooms in your house, this is not cool.
1b. You can add a shout that you're home, without checking in. Simply say, "I'm home & off the...]]> Mon, 01 Feb 2010 21:47:00 +0000 http://www.urbanplanet.org/forums/index.php?/blog/12/entry-66-i-heart-foursquare/ http://www.urbanplanet.org/forums/index.php?/blog/1/entry-65-updates-major-and-minor/ Tue, 19 Jan 2010 19:26:00 +0000 http://www.urbanplanet.org/forums/index.php?/blog/1/entry-65-updates-major-and-minor/ http://www.urbanplanet.org/forums/index.php?/blog/12/entry-63-lets-turn-it-around-grand-rapids-an-artprize-learning-experience-for-businesses-venues/ Mon, 28 Sep 2009 19:26:00 +0000 http://www.urbanplanet.org/forums/index.php?/blog/12/entry-63-lets-turn-it-around-grand-rapids-an-artprize-learning-experience-for-businesses-venues/ http://www.urbanplanet.org/forums/index.php?/blog/12/entry-62-be-nice-grand-rapids/
