Could you name all the neighbors on your block or in your building? According to a Pew research report, fifty percent of us would flunk the name game. But there’s a way to find out what’s happening where you live (a new development or stores in the area, a rash of break-ins, a group garden, a favorite handyman, a fabulous local resource, a request) and get to know those around you. Neighborhood websites.
And, they are catching on. Here’s one of my AARP blog posts on the topic.
