Bigger cities are even more expensive, ie San Fran, NYC. I'll agree that the job postings on craigslist don't look spectacular, but with a few friends who just found jobs and other who are currently jobless, their go to job site is Craigslist. Sure they fill out profiles on Monster and Career Builder, but then they just sit back and wait to be contacted by recruiters.
BTW, I don't know if your startup is just a temporary t-shirt store, but here is my 2 cents from my brief experience selling shirts: Spend a little more for the better quality shirts, you will get repeat customers. I highly recommend the American Apparel shirts. It really does make a difference. Also, if customers know that the shirt is AA, they are definitely more likely to buy if you list it for a moderate price. The quality is far superior and in my opinion, just feel better wearing them.
I'm sure all of their customers find it in the app store and that's why they've never worried about it. But take a successful app like angry birds for example. If I go to angrybirds.com, it takes you to their shop where they earn additional streams of revenue. If these guys want to create something special and "be bought out by yahoo for a billion", in my opinion they need to offer something more to a customer than just the name, address and phone number of a sneaker store. It's all stuff I can do myself by using a free app like google maps.
