Also i think we should re-name our neighborhood, StonySide, it has a much better ring to it than Hyde Park South ;) and fit with the Brookside, Pondside, Parkside naming..

This new initiative is to broaden the range of activities and interests to building a stronger neighborhood identity among all residents, home owners, renters, churches, retail, etc. I thought browsing through your site might given me some ideas of activities used for building a neighborhood identity.

So how are things going with you Joseph? I will be back in JP and Boston midMay for my graduation ceremony up at Tufts. I cannot believe how quickly my time in Boston flew by. I was browsing through the pictures you have posted here and was feeling very homesick. Montgomery AL is a long way away from JP, both physically and culturally.

How are things in JP. It is getting warm down here in Montgomery AL. I guess summer is upon us. My neighborhood association is interested in pursuing a community building initiative, so naturally I came to your website for ideas.

I just came back from the Nonprofit Tech conference and am excited to find out what social media activities, sites, initiatives are going on in the Boston area. Your site in particular stuck me as a fabulous agent for social change and I'd love to learn more. I will try you again on Monday, Erin
