allco is right in regards to going crazy if you try to create a directory yourself. And it's only worth buildign a "city doctors" blog if you actually live in the city, and write useful stuff about this city's doctors (ie. interview local doctors etc.) - in which case, this is not a quick business since you'd have to be passionate and keep writing about the topic for a while.
My suggestion: if you know how to hustle, are a people person and specialize in sales, then partner with a local nerd to take care of all the technical stuff. I did this for a project (I was the nerd), and was very happy with the complimentary skillsets. The vast majority of technical wizards can't stand to do sales.

You need to know what searching for "~puppies", "site:wickedfire.com", "inurl:shopping_cart" will do...
You sound sane, and you can spell, feel free to send me a PM if you're stuck on something.
