Welcome to the community wiki for Merced, California, USA. This project is an interconnected community effort to explore, discuss and compile anything and everything about Merced — especially the little, enjoyable things. This entire site is maintained by the people who use it: anyone can edit this website! However, you will have to log in with an existing wikispot user or create a new user before you can do so.
We're new! That means you can jump in and help us!
If you're a local wikiphile and can help, please do, as the creator has very little wiki experience! (This page was originally created on 8/18/08.)
