I am not sure how many of you are already a part of neighborhood social networks like Nextdoor, but if you are not a part of one, then I highly suggest you join one.  There are so many benefits that I have learned of from this network.  I have had instances where I have learned of break ins in my area and other important items that I would have never known if it weren’t for the network.   One other thing that I have noticed is they now offer advertising, for instance if you are a REALTOR like me, or in a skilled trade, you can get business or advertise on the site.  What a better place to advertise or get involved with commenting etc, than with the people in your own community.  these  online communities also have an app you can download to your phone, so then you can stay in touch with maybe HOT things going in your neighborhood.  One unusual one that I found the app helpful was when there were a lot of fireworks going off in our surrounding area.  Through reading comments on the app I was able to identify what was going on around my house.  What’s another ONE MORE social network to join and manage???????
