It Takes a Village

By: Mr. Wilson on February 4, 2009
The Witherbee Village concept is awesome. From the Journal Star:
For about $60 a month, homeowners of all ages in the Witherbee Village area — roughly, 27th Street to 63rd Street and O Street to South Street — could get such services as snow blowing, raking, home maintenance, medical advocacy, help with shopping and errands, rides to appointments.
My great aunt lives on the very edge of that area. I hope she is amenable to taking part in this sort of thing. It would be fantastic to see neighborhood associations across the city follow suit. The specifics may vary from neighborhood to neighborhood, but the general concept is wonderful.
