Newcastle Neighborliness

Since living in Newcastle since '05, I find that Newcastlers are generally neighborly, as they are doing things that often would be the purview of the city: volunteering for various community projects, programs (including my Democracy in Election Process program), and city commissions, picking up litter along non-residential roads and sidewalks, as I often do myself, sweeping up leaves even in areas where there is not an obvious residential dwelling, and doing civic things in general that contribute greatly to our town and wider community.

- Mark Greene, Candidate for Council
Update: the first part of this essay, since transferred and revised, has been put in the "Memoirs and Poems" part of our overall blogs.
