Ladies and Gentlemen, The Batavian is on the air.
We're launching in beta mode -- lots of bugs to work out, and we still need to establish our business in beautiful downtown Batavia, New York.
Today has been mainly about administrative tasks -- ordering busienss cards, advertising, signage and buying some electronics.
At the moment, we're hanging out in Main Street Coffee.
We'll share more later about who we are and what we're doing, but if you happen across this site and this post, please register and leave a comment. Tell us what you think The Batavian can and should do to best serve the residents and businesses of Batavia.
Official launch date slated for May 1.
