     provides a place for community organizations to post information about 
     what they're doing.
        "Digital City Arlington Heights will continue to evolve," Youngman

     "We expect a wide variety of content providers to join the site to 
     provide more information in the future and that members of the 
     community will contribute information of their own."
        Digital City Arlington Heights is supported by an agreement between 
     the Chicago Tribune's Digital City Chicago project and the North

     system's Internet service.

     digital community-based news and information service.  It is part of 
     Digital City Chicago, a new service that in the coming months will 
     appear on both the World Wide Web and America Online. Digital 
     communities will be launched throughout the Chicagoland area in 1996 
     and 1997.
