This is the place for Jackson St(mostly North) residents to post about community news and events, and also about safety and crime. It can help find missing pets, stop burglars and vandalism, and also allows the community to stay more in touch.
There are plenty of benefits of setting up a group for our neighborhood. In addition to the aforementioned reasons, you can use the group to grow the bonds of friendship between you and your neighbors. It can be an avenue for taking online relationships and converting them into real-life interaction.Let's plan block parties, outdoor movie nights, or even use the group to find someone to water your plants while you are away.
Be careful to only post information you want available to the public, and remember that some members of your neighborhood may not be on Facebook. Don’t forget to invite your offline neighbors to any events you plan. Also, we are on facebook but Facebook’s recent newsfeed changes mean that all the information on the group’s page may not be distributed equally to all group members. An additional word of caution, Neighborhood groups can easily get out of control and lose their initial purpose. If too many people start posting to the group wall, it can start to flood your newsfeed with unwanted information.
But this can be an incredible tool for social networking both online and off. Please introduce your self and get involved & keep up with your neighbors in your hood.
