One of the best ways to improve our neighborhoods and build a sense of community is for people to know who their neighbors are and develop a sense of place. This is true regardless of whether they are homeowners or renters. And now that the weather is warming and evenings are longer, it’s a great time to thrown a simple block party. Just chat with a few neighbors, pick a date and place, and put the word out. Pot lucks make it easy and are always fun. Have name tags and maybe include addresses so folks can connect people to homes.
