*Knocker*: "I'm trying something new and I want your advice. We're starting a group with a few other neighbors that isn't a business and isn't a church--it's more like a civic group from last century, but intended to meet our needs today.
"For example, we've noticed that social media has made it easier to connect online but harder to form deep local relationships. We've noticed that many people feel like they want more connection with good neighbors, but it can be hard to find the right neutral ground to grow on together.
"So I was wondering, if there were a group that were trying to fill this sort of role in our neighborhood, what would serve you and your family or neighbors best? What do you think of the idea in general?"
