Idea for local phone books

This is what I think we need. A website entitled "mylocalphonebook.com". For each city, you would have "mylocalphonebook.com/richmond-tx/". Everything for that city would then fall under that heading. You could have commercial listings, personal listings, community areas for clubs and organizations, city and government offices--everything in one spot and maintained so it is always up-to-date, keyword searchable, linked to mapping sites like Google Maps or Google Earth. People could write reviews or recommendations for local businesses, rate services--this needs more thought to flesh it out, but I think this is what we should do to get completely away from paper phone books that are usually out of date and never seem to have exactly what you are looking for.

My two cents worth for the day.
