"Hello, and welcome to YourHistoryHere, the place where you can share your knowledge about those unusual places, buildings or things that make places interesting to live. This site is on limited circulation at the moment, and is only supposed to be a mySociety demo, not a big posh project like PledgeBank. It may not be obvious, but the most important feature of YourHistoryHere is the construction of an underlying system for collecting and sharing geographic annotations in an open syndicated format, so you can use the yummy local data people leave for your own purposes. We're building two sites that show how this can be useful, this one and Placeopedia.com, and we'd love to share the code for other ideas. Anyone want to build WhereIHadMyFirstKiss.com?

About This Place...

Cafe run by unemployed

Some years ago, an organisation called Fokus Folkeoplysning received funds for creating a new cafe, in which unemployed people could learn a new job. The name of the cafe is Kaffe Fair. The cafe is attached to the local library, you ca read a book, while waiting for the food to be served. The environment is friendly and cozy and it is a pleasure to be there. The people working in the cafe are paid with the public unemployment benefit. Many of them leave that job to go to work in real restaurants and cafés.
