Field notes
The 253 edition organizes its material into issue, opening, project, housing-by-ZIP, and jobs sections. New Dirt identifies building permits, business licenses, liquor-license applications, and contractor registrations as source records, and says readers can follow links to check items themselves. The other listed city editions are marked as coming soon, with an email notification offered for launch.
