Andheri
The Andheri Hood on Living Local was active enough when we logged in with users posting a barrage of questions for others to answer — 'where can I find a children's trainer', 'anyone bought the Freedom 251 phone' to 'where can I buy peanut butter'. All got valid responses, some even mention numbers and landmarks. Through this app we learnt that box cricket has launched in Lokhandwala and costs Rs 5,000 for three hours. The platform has the potential to turn into a go-to space for solutions. But, there is also the fear spamming by corporates and small-time businesses. The site is divided into Unanswered, (which lets you answer queries) Recommendations, (lets you share your experience) and Hoods (allows you to navigate into other hoods). We stepped into Juhu for a bit, and the questions followed — 'where can I get the best de-tanning service', 'chess classes for my son'. So, if we are in Bandra, we'd be able to get tips from a local.
