Plymouth and a number of local businesses are well represented on Facebook.  I wrote the other day about the Plymouth Area Chamber of Commerce’s Facebook page, but since then I’ve found a number of other pages.  If you’re a “FB’er” you might like these. http://www.facebook.com/s.php?q=downtown+Plymouth&init=quick#/group.php?gid=2218144254&ref=search http://www.facebook.com/s.php?q=downtown+Plymouth&init=quick#/pages/Plymouth-MI/Plymouth-Downtown-Development-Authority/91838117123?ref=search http://www.facebook.com/s.php?q=downtown+Plymouth&init=quick#/group.php?gid=34844181965&ref=search http://www.facebook.com/s.php?q=downtown+Plymouth&init=quick#/event.php?eid=59093308335&ref=search http://www.facebook.com/s.php?q=downtown+Plymouth&init=quick#/event.php?eid=71529278528&ref=search http://www.facebook.com/s.php?q=downtown+Plymouth&init=quick#/event.php?eid=82933413386&ref=search http://www.facebook.com/s.php?q=downtown+Plymouth&init=quick#/group.php?gid=19552278830&ref=search http://www.facebook.com/s.php?q=downtown+Plymouth&init=quick#/group.php?gid=100955950969&ref=ts I’ll gladly post [...]
