Here’s a new use of Front Porch Forum’s service from a member in the Oakledge Neighborhood Forum…
I’ll bet some of the folks in this neighborhood are reading some good books and seeing films and plays regularly. It would be really interesting if folks would write a few words for the neighborhood forum about a book or film they have really enjoyed and think others shouldn’t miss. -N.A.
Our mission… helping neighbors connect and foster community within the neighborhood. This message certainly fits the bill! Now, I hope she gets some folks to give it a shot.
I’m not sure if people would go for this structure, but I was thinking about communities, colleges and schools who have selected a book to all read, lending an undercurrent of “common cultural reference” in daily life. I was thinking of suggesting it on my neighborhood forum!
