How current is the business and event information?+
Business owners keep their own listings current, and our team reviews new listings before they publish. Events drop off automatically once they've passed. See something wrong? Use the Report link on any listing and we'll fix it.
Can businesses message me directly?+
No. All messaging on TownVue is user-initiated. You choose when and who to reach out to. Businesses can only respond to conversations you start, so your inbox stays on your terms.
