Community is defined as a group of people who live in the same area. That may be a city, town or neighborhood. I can honestly say that I live in an amazing neighborhood. AKA “the party street” and while we do have our fair share of block parties the relationships go much deeper than that. But what I can’t figure out is why? Why is it so special? What are the key elements? Can they be duplicated? We’ll explore neighborhoods and how our outdoor environment can play a key role in future posts.
