You should make all the little city names clickable on the front page, so I could see a view of all startups in that neighborhood, etc.

The drop-downs at the top will let you do that, but I had to stop making the tags on each entry clickable -- too many links, too overwhelming. Maybe in the redesign I'll be able to make it look less busy.

Any advice on how I can make the dropdowns more obvious?

Thanks for the feedback by the way, definitely one of the main reasons I posted here. Open to all suggestions. =)

I like it, although the site design basically breaks if it isn't full screen. Might need to make it fixed width until you come up with a better solution.

I started using the Whiteboard theme framework, so it should be fluidly shrinking / moving columns as the screen size shrinks. I do see that the top navigation, header text, and sidebar button aren't handling resizing very nicely. I'll see what I can do; thanks for the prompting, pwally.
