This one’s for the neighborhood
GOOD Magazine has taken the initiative to declare this Sunday April 25th the 1st annual Neighbor Day, a day of local community and getting to know your neighbors. Besides the fact that I’m an instant fan of non-traditional holidays, I think it’s awesome to celebrate something that makes our lives so very rich. It’s so easy to get involved that you won’t even have an excuse – just throw a potluck, support local independent businesses or finally introduce yourself to that person you’ve passed by every day for the past 3 years without knowing their name. For extra credit we’d like you to vouch for the San Diego neighborhood that rocks hardest and tell us why. The best response we receive within a week from today will get a shirt reppin’ their ‘hood in the colors of their choice. Now, let’s see some love for your neighborhood!

I should add these shirts are designed by the super-talented Josh Boston (joshboston.com) and screen-printed by awesome art + music non-profit Sezio (sezio.org). There are many more neighborhoods available.

I could write a novella about the bliss that is our neighborhood. We (my wife and I) live in North Park. We love it because people care about keeping it clean and being nice to each other. We love it because when we take walks, lots of other people are taking them, too, and they are virtually all super friendly. We love it because the free summer concerts in the park at Bird Park and Trolley Barn Park are amazing and laid back. In the spirit of Neighbor Day, we also love it because our closest neighbors–South Park, University Heights, Normal Heights–are equally friendly and committed to having a nice community to call home. The businesses here aren’t cold, soul-less places. They are filled with small business owners who are approachable, love what they do, and don’t mind sharing some of themselves with the community. This is a great place to live.
