I received a great idea from the Point Breeze list serve. They host an annual porch crawl where neighbors walk from porch to porch visiting those deciding to host. It's a great way to meet neighbors.

I wanted to initiate something like that in Highland Park if that would appeal.
Please take my survey below to see if this is something that would be of interest to the community:
