Ferguson's website has crashed.

While trying to envision what Ferguson might look like after the dust settles -- and the people who register to vote at the memorial: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025405522 vote real representatives in -- I tried to hit the city's website http://www.fergusoncity.com/ to find out some basic info like how many people live in homes vs. apartments, and it wouldn't load!

I have seen that there are only a handful of rather infrequent bus routes, and only about two dozen restaurants in a town of over 20,000.
