How great to see so many events planned! I understand the concerns expressed elsewhere that it might be better for the larger Grand Ave event to be held on a different date, when it is not in competition with the more localized neighborhood events. But as to the other potentially overlapping events–I think the more there are the better. Meeting lots of people from the general neighborhood is interesting and fun, but I think getting to know immediate neighbors in smaller groups is just as valid and helpful for neighborhood interests and crime prevention.
Our National Night Out gathering in the 800 block of Erie Street was a lot of fun, and brought together neighbors from surrounding streets as well. Since we had music and a great MC and DJ – thanks Steve! – we attracted a lot of neighbors. I met people from York, Warfield, “little” Erie (across Prince) as well as folks from my block of Erie that I had not known before NNO. Full marks to everyone who organized and worked so hard, including everyone in our building and Cheryl Guiliano and her hubby who put together an amazing raffle. I love our neighborhood spirit and agree with Anne that a diversity of events that are more localized help neighbors to bond and watch out for each other. More to come from Erie Street!
