The "new" neighborhood blog

Originally this blog was a place for a few friends in the neighborhood to post photos, video or little snippets of info. So the early postings are not as truly neighborhood-centric as we hope they will eventually become. We really want to include everybody in the neighborhood and encourage anyone to contribute to this blog. We hope it can become a place where we highlight our neighbors-- what they're doing with in their gardens, or projects with their homes, or safe-for-work photos of their travels :)

Anybody who would like to contribute, please email me and I'll make sure you have the access you need to post to this blog.
