March 13, 2008 Information on parks and recreation facilities are available in a variety of places and in a variety of formats, but we found them poorly organized and difficult to use. The facts are out there, but there had to be a better way for people to access it. We gathered the information and entered into Povo to create what we believe is the best and most complete guide to Boston area parks: Show parks in Boston You can continue to refine your search of parks by clicking on tags (in the right hand column)... Find parks with both a basketball court (for me) and a play structure (for my kids). We have Boston and Cambridge information, perhaps you could help out by entering parks in other areas? Or better yet if you know who in your town or city government has this information, let us know!

April 7, 2008 Burts Bees is a brand of all natural personal care products. They are sold at a suprising number of Boston area retailers, but not everywhere. Dr. Hauschka is an all natural and organic skin care line that is much harder to find. Both of them were suggested by a friend of Povo. So let's say you hear about their products and would like to try them. How do you know which stores carry the brand and where they're located? Does the CVS down the street carry them, or do you have to make a trip to a specialty store? Or maybe you're on your way home and you need that particular brand of diaper cream (haven't we all been there? No? ok.)... It's not that this search is the be all and end all of Povo, but it's a new way of thinking about how to use it. It's not just the locations, it's the obscure, rare or unique features of that place.
