This is Woody, your friendly neighbor from HowdyHood. I invite you to HowdyHood where you can join your own community on your street or the zipcode where you live.
Why should you join? To get better connected with your neighborhood, which may just be easier and convenient online than knocking on your neighbor’s door or through a chance meeting in the street.
Do you need to borrow a Phillips screwdriver size #3 that you don't seem to have in your tool set? Yell across on "Hood Talk" to your neighbors in your building - someone might just have one for you?
Did you just decide this afternoon that you want to go out and have dinner with your friends but do not have a babysitter - Post on "Help Wanted" section in your neighborhood. The teenager down the block or in your building might just be available to babysit for a couple of hours for you.
Or are you just feeling a little bored and would like to play poker with some people. Then get back on the "Hood Talk" again. Give a shout and gather up some people for that game in no time and establish enduring friendships.
It takes a village to raise a child and a neighborhood network is probably just what you need in these busy times.
