Promoting America's Urban Frontier
Neighborhoodwalk Wrap-Up
Overall, we covered two states plus China? And 5 metropolitan areas - Butler, Erie, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Youngstown. Where are the Cleveland folks??
Some people interpreted their neighborhood as where they live or work or shop. Some people interpreted their neighborhood as who they are walking with. Some people interpreted their neighborhood as where they used to live. Some people were "late" for this "homework" assignment, so if you missed some here's your chance to catch up. I especially liked the uses of google maps (and add-ons like mapmyrun) as well as taking advantage of flickr.
2) Greenfield - a dog's eye view
3) Monroeville - unfortunately no zombies appear in this walk
4) Allentown - my post about the gritty upper-belly of Pittsburgh
5) Crawling the Burgh
6) Squirrel Hill - fun with pushing around your children
7) Downtown - a tribute and neighborhoodwalk in one
8) Bellevue - here's to getting to know a new neighborhood
9) Point Breeze - a glimpse of fall
10) Friendship - another walk another cute-as-a-button dog
11) Millvale - proves your neighborhood is what you make of it.
13) Butler - a glimpse into an idyllic seeming small town
14) Butler - gargoyles and pumpkins oh my
17) Youngstown - lovely pictures of a new-to-me city
18) Beautiful Houses - and affordable too!
19) Great wall - yes, our rustbelters do travel.
In summary, bravo to everyone who participated and showed us something new. Hopefully next month, we'll have even more participators. Please comment if I've missed anyone.
Spread the word.

Save the Date: December 11. Neighborhoodwalk - public artwalk.
Pick a piece of public art and tell us why you picked it. Do you love it? Did you make it? Do you hate it and hope it gets torn down? This "assignment" should be easier than the neighborhoodwalk. You can even "cheat" and take a picture from flickr (respecting the creative commons license of course.)Spread the word.

I did a Neighborhoodwalk too -- on Nov 11, 2008. Mine was dedicated to veterans, as 11-11 was Veterans Day.
