A really cool website is craigslist. Like freecycle, you can sign up in your city or area and it is like a yellow pages/newspaper/helpwanted/freebies/etc. all in one site, suited to your area. I found my last job on craigslist! There is also a personals heading, apartments and houses to rent or for sale, weather in your area, you name it, it is on craiglist!
www.craiglist.com
go to that site and enter your city.
