"non corporate" news and stories

If you're new to an area, or simply looking to find new, independent cafés in your town, Delocator.net might be use to you. Enter a zip code and Delocator will search listings of over 5,000 non-corporate cafés within a radius of up to 20 miles. Currently the listings are for the U.S. and Canada. Listings are based on entries from readers, so the number of coffee shops tracked by Delocator is constantly growing. Results include contact info, website links and brief descriptions. Spot-checking a few zip codes in my area, Delocator returned a pretty complete list of the coffee shops I know to be in operation. Also listed in the results are locations for a certain other coffee shop, just in case you were wondering.
