A couple of friends of mine are members of groups on facebook for their neighborhoods. To me this sounds like a neat idea to foster community virtually. My neighborhood does not have an official association or anything like that, so I am not sure about how to go about starting one. Just put a page up there I guess.
Anyone done anything like this? We probably have about 50 houses altogether. I am "friends" on FB with a couple of my neighbors, but that's about it. Maybe put out fliers, go door to door? Door to door seems a little involved/exhausting for this introvert!
Also, I am a bit concerned it could devlove into some sort of gripe fest. I am a member of two yahoo groups for different HOAs where I have rental property and we had to put in strict rules in one so the griping and picking would stop. But, overall I think it could be a great way to connect with folks in the neighborhood we might not know. Opinions, thoughts?
