This week, we’re implementing a few upgrades to the Broken Sidewalk site to increase usability and functionality of the site. You will be seeing a few minor layout changes that should generally make BS easier to interact with. We’ll tell you more about the updates as they go online, but if you see something not working correctly, that’s the reason. Let us know is you experience any problems. Thanks. Broken Sidewalk.
