In the Neighborhood: The Search for Community on an American Street, One Sleepover at a Time by Peter Lovenheim
Great read... I mean the man is brilliant, why didn't I think of establishing community by having SLUMBER PARTIES?? We should all probably start inviting our neighbors to spend the night....or dinner, to stay on the safer, less suggestive side of things.
This book really got me thinking about the implications of city living. On the one lane road in the mountains where I grew up knowing your neighbors was normal. Living in San Francisco, it's not unusual to live in the same building as someone and not know their name let alone anything about them..... I'm glad to see people are getting creative in the way they find and build communities.
The book is very entertaining. Buy it, or borrow mine :)
