This will be the first of many area launches, beginning its expansion into the Chicago-area suburbs. Sites in Skokie and Arlington Heights will follow before the end of 2006. Evanston is also Backfence’s first Midwest website. Long known as a center for civic and cultural activism, Evanston is also undergoing a downtown and neighborhood renaissance with the addition of new residential complexes, stores and businesses. Those who live or work in Evanston can use Backfence to air their views, have online conversations with neighbors, or even find the right plumber or contractor for a home repair. “With Evanston’s long ties to education, citizen participation and business innovation it made sense to launch a community-driven online resource here,” said Andy Vogel, Backfence’s Evanston General Manager, who will oversee the Chicago-area expansion in Evanston and other suburbs. ``It’s about people talking to people online in a neighborhood that we create with each Backfence community.
