Smallwander.com SM links the high-quality resources of small towns. The site, which is still in the testing stage, will include 10 to 30 towns from each of the southeastern states in the not-too-distant future. This site is different than other tourism sites because it:
Focuses on small towns that have small-town charm, with historical, artistic, and natural offerings,
Pools the amenities of small towns into a single database,
Provides up-to-date information about events, and
Recruits businesses that are locally-owned, walkable, and environmentally-friendly.
