>Shucks ... doesn't seem to be a way to see if there's any activity in my area without having to sign up first.

Yep. I signed up and after going through the signup workflow, I then found out there was nothing really going on in my neck of the woods.

And then I discovered that to delete my account (which I shouldn't have had to create in the first place) I had to email them. Maybe there was a self-service account deletion option that I couldn't see, but I didn't want to spend any more time hunting for it.

I always sign up for things like this with my spam account / info. If I really like the service, I just create a new account with real info if there's no easy way to delete the old account.
