  1. Does anyone in Ft. Scott prepare a services guide? I have had a difficult time finding handymen, lawn care and small engine repair. I know some communities provide a directory like this for there people. Just a thought if one doesn’t exist. Local yellow pages use to be a great reference, but landlines are not use as much anymore.

  2. I’ve posted on facebook. I tried to contact Phillips Lawn by email. It wouldn’t go through. I’ve sent an inquiry to the chamber. No response. As I’ve said, this isn’t just about lawn care, it’s all services. People don’t use the yellow pages. I’ve noticed that Nevada and Pittsburg have directories or some means to find the businesses. Don’t other people in Ft Scott have a similar problem?

    1. We have a list of community links here. People suggest new links in the comments and every month or so we copy them to the page and categorize them. If there is something you want to see added, please put it in the comments on that page.

    2. Hmmm. I use Phillips and have no trouble with email. He does have a FaceBook presence though and he has always responded quickly to me.

    3. Hello – this is Lindsay with the Chamber. I just now noticed your comment and I don’t show ever receiving an inquiry. Was it an email you sent. Let me know – would be happy to help you. There is a business directory on our site http://www.fortscott.com and you can click to email most any member on there. Here is a link to Phillips Lawn Care and if you click Request Info it will email him. Thank you! http://fortscott.com/list/member/phillips-lawn-care-3501
