In addition to two Facebook groups devoted to Concord and West Concord that we mentioned a few weeks ago (http://www.concordma.com/blog/2009/03/join-facebook-groups-for-concord-west-concord.html), there are other groups on Facebook related to our town.
While there are more than are listed here, we mostly choose groups, with the exception of the first one below, with more than just a few members. (There were several other class alumni groups which we did not list to avoid repetition.) The descriptions we used were copied exactly from the groups themselves, and are as varied, many-layered and interesting as is Concord in "real life".
If you search, you will find that Henry David Thoreau, Lousia May Alcott, Bronson Alcott, Ralph Waldo Emerson, et al, all seem to be personal users of Facebook -- multiple times each. And they've got plenty of friends. More than Mr. HDT had in life.
Enjoy your explorations!

A group for people who have visited the Willow Pond Kitchen in Concord, MA and are nostalgic for its dingy, grease laden interior, moth-eaten taxidermy, and definitely scarey food. Anything boiled (like the lobster) was OK as was the bottled beer, but beyond that you were taking your chances.
