Whistle Stop Cafe in downtown Peterborough has launched an innovative social media wall meant to become a hub for ideas pertaining to the city.

Local businesses and organizations can get their Twitter handle and/or hashtag on the wall/window of the cafe by contacting whistlestopcafe@bellnet.ca for details.

Owner Peggy Shaughnessy tells us the Twitter/hashtag wall is meant to "create dialogue", to inspire people to create conversations around their city pertaining to culture, politics, sports—whatever. Peterborough is known for having one of the more active communities on Twitter—Twitter Canada was here this summer—and this is another example of its power here.

Our @Ptbo_Canada handle is already on the wall so tweet us a picture when you see it in there, or when you're having conversations pertaining to the city and downtown.

Follow @WhistleStopLife on Twitter for more information, or email whistlestopcafe@bellnet.ca.
