having done my share of flyer posting in the past:
look in areas where there is a lot of foot traffic. Here (Hilo, HI)
there are a lot around the university and community college (if that
fits your demographics - don't only think students, think staff and faculty
as well), as well as some in and around
outlying (contract) post offices,
mom-and-pop stores in the country,
local food places (not chains, and not the up-scale ones),
small supermarkets (if that isn't an oxymoron in your area - it is becoming
one here but wasn't 10 years ago),
health food stores,
laundromats,
small businesses of all kinds (they may ask you to only post flyers that are
related to the same area of business, like being animal related at the vet's
offices),
municipal parks.

Make sure that you comply with what the owner of the board asks for, like
don't staple into boards that ask for tape only, get permission to post
where they ask you to do so, etc.

Hope this helps, and of course YMMV,
