<p>I just created a Jamaica Plain focused hiking/walking meetup group. For those who are unfamiliar with the meetup concept, participation is free and it's a way for people with common interests to do stuff. Here's the description:</p>

<p>This meetup group is for Jamaica Plain residents who like to walk and hike. Since we are all coming from the same place, coordinating local walks/hikes should be relatively easy. This group may also end up being a relaxed way to meet some of your neighbors.</p>
<p>A few points:</p>
<ul>
<li>Although some walks will be in or around JP, not all will be, but they will be convenient for people coming from JP.</li>
<li>I generally will not institute RSVP limits, nor do I really care about no shows. You will have the flexibility to add an event from this group to your calendar and then either show or not based on what else comes up in your life. </li>
<li>Expect that the hikes/walks in this group will be at least at a moderate (to faster) pace, and so please be in relatively good shape and able to enjoy some exertion.</li>
</ul>

<p>Nick</p> Can I walk your dog . . . for free?tag:neighborsforneighbors.org,2011-08-10:1171189:Topic:788562011-08-10T22:27:32.391ZMegan Stokeshttp://neighborsforneighbors.org/profile/MeganStokes
<p>I posted this when I lived in Miami Beach a few years back, and it worked out great. So here goes. . . </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I love dogs. When I was 5, my parents promised me I could get a dog when I was old enough to walk one. I made my dad sign a contract to that effect and tucked it away in the dictionary under 'dog' until I was 8. Happily, I got Sammy, a golden retriever, on my 8th birthday.</p>

<p>But, now that I'm grown up, I sadly do not have a lot of money or time (I work long hours for an environmental non-profit) or an allowing apartment to have a dog. </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>So here's my proposal: I walk <em>your</em> dog!</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Do you have a big dog or a puppy that needs extra exercise? Do you just not like getting up in the morning to walk Fido and want a break one day a week? Or do you just want to help a neighbor out who loves dogs? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>We could meet, do a test walk together, and then set up one day a week for a walk, or I can just call when I need some puppy love. I have excellent references, as I was a professional dog-walker in college. Send me a personal message and let's have you, me and your dog meet!</p>
