It is very cool, but if you're going to talk about more local things to you, you might consider creating yourself a channel for your local area. That way, people one and a half hours south of you or whatever don't have to hear about that local restaurant. I had that same issue the other day where there was a band opening and we were trying to talk and broken parts of conversations from the band opening were coming in from like two hours away by car. So we created our own local channel to talk amongst ourselves and are now leaving the public channel for airplanes or people who are mobile, etc. who are just passing through.
