Kimberly, You can manually add neighborhoods, but not cities/towns. You'd have to send a request to Support@ActiveRain.com and request a new town be added to the drop down menu for that county.

Kimberly - You got some great answers from Liz and Bill Spear, as well as Inna Ivchenko and Fred Griffin. Not much else I can add here.

Do not forget to use tags. I believe, they are the most important. Also share your post all over your media sites mentioning the location and some other key words.

Kimberly Thurm - I think the town should exist in the dropdown.

I believe your town is predetermined by your profile and how you set up your membership. I don't think there are other options just neighborhoods.

I have added communities in the past. I do not know if the wonkiness is gone from adding listings to our home pages. Send a request to support to add the town you want added.

For hyper local i have been able to add neighborhoods but not towns. For putting in a listing, you click listings and then type on the address where it will ask you to confirm the address. It is different than just hyper local but has not worked quite right the last month. I have stopped trying to add listing due to the error message when featuring a listing. Perhaps someone has tried it this week to know if it is or is not fixed???

I have added neighborhoods but not cities. I don't see why AR wouldn't fulfill a request.

I believe Liz and Bill Spear is correct, if memory serves, I've added neighborhoods, but not cities. Although you could for time-sake, add the town as a "neighborhood" until AR updates it. They've left out Towns in San Diego too.

I'm not sure if the listings section is currently working correctly. I was also pretty sure that all the towns were already added many years ago.
There are also a couple of groups you might add your listing to.

I would send a note to Support@ActiveRain.com. It's a good question but I think we can only add neighborhoods - towns are preselectd but perhaps they can add it. Or add the town name as the neighborhood

I don't believe you can add towns, just neighborhoods. But you can try entering into the drop-down menu.

I'm probably not the one to respond to this but.... fill in the state, and then the county followed by the town... then the street can be filled in....

I am surprised that they missed a town, did you make sure to click the right county first?
Also good to make sure they are in the "Listings" category. But dont click that box for them to be featured on the side, that will cause the post to fail.
